## Summary

The City & County of Swansea has initiated a public procurement process for the supply of one 9-seater long wheelbase (LWB) minibus. This procurement, classified under the 'Transport equipment and auxiliary products to transportation' industry category, is guided by an open competition approach. As a 'Below threshold - open competition,' it invites broad participation. Interested parties must submit their tenders via the E-Tendering portal by 28th May 2026 at noon. The process is currently in the tender stage, and inquiries are welcome until the 21st May 2026. The purchasing authority is based in Swansea, in the UK region of UKL18, and the contract is set to commence in early June 2026.

This procurement presents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle supply and transport equipment. Companies capable of providing high-quality minibuses with competitive pricing will find this tender particularly appealing. The award criteria designate a significant portion (80%) of the evaluation weight to price, with the remaining 20% attributed to quality, considering vehicle delivery and warranty. SMEs and VCSE organisations are deemed suitable for this opportunity, making it an excellent prospect for small to medium-sized enterprises looking to expand their operations into the public sector market. Businesses should ensure compliance with the specification to maximise their chances of success.
