## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Cheshire West and Chester Borough Council, involves an open tender for the acquisition of four second-hand minibuses, classified under the transport equipment category. The value of the contract is set at £200,000, with the contract period commencing from 17th December 2019 and ending on 31st March 2020. The tender closed on 12th November 2019, and the procurement was executed through an open procedure, highlighting a transparent bidding process aimed at ensuring competitiveness among suppliers. The contract has since been awarded to Dawsongroup Bus and Coach Ltd on 13th November 2019.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses looking to expand within the transport equipment sector, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies involved in the refurbishment and sale of second-hand vehicles, as well as those offering transport services, would be well-placed to compete in future tenders of a similar nature. Engaging with public sector contracts of this kind can enhance business visibility and stimulate growth by providing stable revenue streams through reliable contracts.
