## Summary

The Ministry of Defence, located in Bristol, UK, is the buying organisation for the contract titled "715768452 - The Assisted Travel Scheme for DM Glen Douglas."

The tender process was conducted through a limited competition, as it was below the threshold, and it has been completed with an award status marked as active. Notably, the contract was signed on 15th June 2026 and has a period of performance from 29th June 2026 to 28th June 2029, with options for three additional one-year extensions.

The overall contract value is £547,000, with the gross amount being £656,400, paid in GBP.

This contract presents significant growth opportunities for businesses involved in providing transport services. As the successful supplier, Wilson's of Rhu, classified as an SME, illustrates, smaller and mid-sized enterprises are well-positioned to deliver such niche services within the defence and security sector. Businesses with capabilities in consistent on-time transport service and excellent maintenance response for vehicles have a competitive edge. The scale and nature of this tender show promise particularly for firms looking to expand their portfolio in publicly funded projects, especially those keen on entering or strengthening their presence in the defence logistics market.
