## Summary

Swindon Borough Council procured minibus passenger transport on individual routes for public and education transport. The requirement was for road transport services serving Swindon. It formed part of the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, specifically the category for individual minibus routes. The procurement description identifies the transport purpose but does not break down individual routes, passenger numbers or service schedules. The work is local passenger transport rather than vehicle supply: suppliers provide transport services for public and education journeys. The council was the buying organisation, and the delivery location is Swindon.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through a further competition under the passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, using a restricted procedure. Green Destinations Ltd was selected. The contract is active and was signed on 27 August 2026, with a contract value of £4,356,092. Three bids were received. The stated evaluation criterion was price. The procurement was described as one lot, but that lot is marked cancelled while the award and contract are active; the published outcome identifies Green Destinations Ltd as the supplier. The contract period is not stated.

This award demonstrates substantial council demand for minibus transport covering individual public and education routes in Swindon. Green Destinations Ltd won after competing with two other bidders, and price was the stated basis for evaluation. A credible competitor when this specific requirement next comes to market would need to deliver minibus passenger services across the council’s local routes and price them competitively. The requirement is for transport operations, not vehicle sales. Businesses with experience organising and delivering passenger journeys for both public and education purposes are the closest fit. The awarded contract’s scale suggests suppliers need the capacity to support a significant local transport requirement, although the available information does not establish particular fleet, staffing, safety accreditation or qualification requirements. The procurement route was a further competition through the council’s passenger transport purchasing system.
