## Summary

The procurement process was led by Hertfordshire County Council for the supply of four low-floor accessible minibuses, with the procurement classified under the "Minibuses" industry category. Located in the East of England, this completed tender was in the award stage as of 23 December 2025. The procurement process commenced with the tender period concluding on 10 November 2025, while the contract period spanned from 25 November 2025 to 25 December 2025. This tender resulted in an award to WN Vtech T/A Mellor Coachcraft with a contract value of £514,996.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transportation manufacturing sector, particularly those capable of supplying specialised accessible vehicles. Although this particular process has been completed, similar future tenders could enable growth for suppliers equipped to deliver tailored vehicle solutions to local government bodies. SMEs and VCSEs were noted as being generally unsuitable for this contract, suggesting it was geared towards larger companies with the capacity and expertise in producing specialised public transport equipment.
