## Summary

Wrexham County Borough Council is seeking an interactive bus for use as a community-focused school. The purchase supports the Council’s approach to bringing services closer to residents, strengthening engagement with families, communities and partner agencies, and enabling early intervention and prevention in local communities. This is a vehicle supply requirement, classified under motor vehicles. Delivery is in Wrexham County Borough, Wales. The requirement is presented as a single lot and is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The description centres on the vehicle and its role in delivering community-focused services; the bus’s detailed specification and operating arrangements are set out in the procurement materials.

The Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The process reached tender, with electronic submission permitted through the eTender Wales portal. Bidders could ask questions until 12 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC, and offers were due by 16 November 2026 at 10:00 UTC. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 January to 31 March 2027, with renewal possible in monthly increments and an overall maximum extent to 30 June 2027. The estimated value is £80,000 excluding VAT (£100,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Award is based on quality, weighted at 70%, and price, weighted at 30%.

This opportunity is suited to suppliers able to provide a vehicle for community-based service delivery, particularly businesses with experience supplying buses or other motor vehicles for public-sector or community use. Small and medium-sized businesses are expressly considered suitable, and the single-lot structure gives vehicle suppliers a defined requirement to address. The stated purpose favours suppliers able to understand how an interactive bus can help bring services into local communities and support engagement with residents, families and partner agencies. Quality carries more weight than price in the evaluation, so bidders should be prepared to explain how their proposed vehicle meets the requirement and supports the Council’s community-focused aims, alongside offering a competitive price. The procurement data does not identify particular accreditations or minimum supplier capacity requirements.
