Summary of the contracting process

East Dunbartonshire Council, a regional authority located in Kirkintilloch, United Kingdom, completed a procurement process for the supply and delivery of four 17-seat minibuses with tail lifts. This process, under the contract ID EDC/2025/4231, falls within the goods procurement category focusing on the automotive industry. The procurement employed an open procedure and was covered by the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA). The procurement stage is in the award phase, with the contract being signed on 8th August 2025, and the supplier awarded is Taxi & Bus Conversion Limited, trading as TBC Conversions. The minibuses are to be delivered to a location in Bishopbriggs (Hilton Depot), and the award value for this contract is £323,592 GBP.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the automotive and vehicle conversion sectors. Companies that can offer competitive pricing coupled with high-quality standards, particularly those experienced in similar scope work, are well-suited to compete. The economic selection criteria included a requirement for a yearly turnover average of £600,000 over the last three years, and technical criteria involved having prior experience with at least three similar contracts successfully delivered over the past five years. As the procurement process allowed electronic submissions only, businesses with robust digital capabilities in terms of bid submissions and documentation management would find this process particularly manageable. This tender could stimulate business growth for SMEs, given the fact that three out of four bids were from small to medium-sized enterprises.
