## Summary

The procurement process involves Transport Scotland, which has issued a contract for the "Park and Ride Bus Shuttle Service for the Solheim Cup." This service will facilitate transportation for the 2019 Solheim Cup golf competition, operating from Perth and Stirling to Gleneagles, capable of carrying up to 15,000 passengers daily. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract awarded to Stagecoach East Scotland following a limited procurement method due to the absence of suitable tenders in a previous open procedure. The contract value is approximately £532,687.30, and it was signed on 12th July 2019, with the event scheduled from 8th to 15th September 2019.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses engaged in transport services, particularly those specialising in bus operations and event management. Given the scale of the service required for the Solheim Cup, companies that are well-equipped to manage large passenger volumes and demonstrate a strong capacity for quality service delivery will be positioned favourably.
