## Summary

The Covid-19 Support Grant – Restart was initiated by Transport Scotland to support local bus transport services in Scotland, specifically through Scottish Borders Council. The procurement process is currently in the Award stage, with an active contract valued at £52,762.38 that covers a duration of 360 days. The tender was initiated in response to the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, and relevant dates include the contract signing on 17 July 2020. The procurement method used was limited, allowing contracts to be awarded without prior competition due to the urgent circumstances.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in public transport services, particularly those with experience in local bus operations. Smaller and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and larger transport service providers alike can benefit by participating in this process. The emphasis on quality and the need for continuous support in public road transport make this an ideal opportunity for businesses looking to expand their service offerings in response to local authority requirements.
