## Summary

Police Scotland and the Scottish Police Authority are executing a procurement process for the provision of Bus & Coach Transportation Services across various regions in the UK, including Scotland and the rest of the UK. The initiative encompasses multiple lots intended to cover North Scotland, East and Southeast Scotland, West and Southwest Scotland, All of Scotland, and the rest of the UK. The procurement process is divided into several stages, with the most recent being the award of contracts dated 1st July 2025 to suppliers like Transport UK - Travel Connect and Bodyshop Edinburgh Ltd T/A Coach Hire Edinburgh. The framework agreement aims to facilitate the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with the procurement status now complete.

This procurement offers substantial business growth opportunities for transport suppliers that specialize in passenger vehicle hire with drivers. The framework agreement was established under an open procedure, and providers with demonstrated capacity and compliance in areas such as insurance and technical capability were awarded contracts. Small to medium enterprises (SMEs) like Bodyshop Edinburgh Ltd have successfully engaged with the opportunity, highlighting the potential for similar-sized businesses to benefit from such public sector contracts. The planned mass mobilisation framework will further expand opportunities, especially for companies equipped to deliver flexible vehicle access for large-scale operations across Scotland and the UK.
