## Summary

The procurement process led by Merthyr Tydfil County Borough Council, titled "Aberfan & Gwaelodygarth to Cyfarthfa High School," has reached its contract award stage as of 9th October 2025. This process, classified within the general public services industry category, involved a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The procurement covers the provision of a scheduled transport route using vehicles with 4-8 seats, aimed at facilitating education and social care transport services in the region of UKL15, Merthyr Tydfil. The contract was signed on 28th August 2025 and was awarded to Mark's Minibus Hire. The dynamic purchasing system, initiated on 7th August 2024, will operate for five years with an optional 24-month extension.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those able to provide small-sized vehicles like minibuses. Given that the procurement was completed through a restricted procedure within a dynamic purchasing system structured into several lots, businesses that can offer competitive pricing and high-quality service standards are well-positioned to benefit. Small and medium enterprises, such as Mark's Minibus Hire, which secured the contract, are notably suited for these opportunities, allowing them to expand their service offerings and strengthening their presence in the public transportation sector in the local region.
