## Summary

Somerset County Council has recently completed a tender process for the supply of six minibuses through the ESPO framework (215). This procurement falls under the category of motor vehicles for the transport of ten or more persons, with a total value of £242,000. The contract period commenced on 1st June 2020 and is set to conclude by 31st July 2020. The delivery is designated for the South West region of the United Kingdom.
