## Summary

The Ministry of Defence has completed a procurement process for the Assisted Travel Scheme at Defence Munitions Glen Douglas, under tender reference 715768452. The project involves providing and operating two coach services capable of transporting up to 16 passengers on return weekday journeys. The procurement falls under the services category in the transport industry and is situated in Bristol, United Kingdom. The procurement method employed was an open procedure, and the tender reached its award update stage as of 14 May 2026, with the contract set to commence on 29 June 2026 and run until 28 June 2029, with potential extensions up to 2032.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those experienced in managing route-based personnel transport within security and defence constraints. The awarding of the contract to Wilson's of Rhu Limited, an SME, demonstrates the open nature of this procurement, offering a viable opportunity for small to medium-sized enterprises possessing the necessary organisational capabilities. Businesses currently not involved in defence-related transportation but wishing to enter this market area could view this initiative as a potential model contract to replicate and expand upon. The scheme presents avenues for offering technical and logistical support systems to help enhance service delivery capabilities.
