UK7 - Contract Details Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Hertfordshire County Council procured one Mercedes or similar 16-seater minibus with a driver for its DRT Herts Lynx department. The requirement is for demand-responsive transport, involving the supply and operation of a passenger vehicle rather than a general bus fleet. The procurement is categorised as goods, with the vehicle classified under CPV 34114400 for minibuses. Delivery and service activity are in Hertfordshire. The council is the public-sector buyer and the requirement was arranged through its CSKL and TPPL Bus Framework. The purchase is associated with the council’s local transport provision, so relevant businesses are minibus manufacturers, vehicle dealers, specialist passenger transport operators and suppliers able to provide a suitable vehicle together with a driver.

The procurement has reached completion and the contract was awarded to TREKA BUS LIMITED. It used one completed lot and was conducted below threshold, with the detailed procurement method recorded as unknown. The awarded contract is for £151,091.14 gross, in GBP, and is below the applicable threshold. The contract was signed on 25 August 2026 and runs from 25 August 2026 to 24 August 2027. The award is active and the contract is active. The selected supplier is a Bolton-based SME. The published requirement was for one Mercedes or similar 16-seater minibus plus driver, for the DRT Herts Lynx department. The available outcome information identifies the purchase and supplier but does not set out separate scoring criteria or a stated evaluation weighting.

This procurement demonstrates a defined requirement within Hertfordshire for a 16-seat passenger minibus supplied with a driver for demand-responsive transport. Businesses assessing future equivalent requirements would need to combine vehicle supply with dependable driver provision and an understanding of local, flexible-route passenger services. The specification points to capability with Mercedes vehicles or comparable minibuses, rather than large scheduled-service buses or general fleet supply. Relevant competitors include minibus manufacturers, dealers, leasing or specialist vehicle providers working with transport operators, and passenger transport companies able to provide both the vehicle and driving service. The award to an SME indicates that the requirement can be delivered by a focused specialist rather than only by a large national transport group.
