## Summary

Renfrewshire Council, located at Renfrewshire House in Paisley, recently completed a procurement process for the supply of two zero emission low floor, 16-seater accessible buses. The tender was initiated as part of a project financed by a grant from Transport Scotland. The procurement was conducted using a limited method with an award made to Woodall Nicholson Limited/Mellor Coachcraft, following a procedure that did not require prior publication due to the unique specifications of the required buses. The award, valued at £339,072, was signed on 30th November 2019, and the procurement falls under the classification of goods in the transport sector.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses focused on sustainable transportation solutions, particularly those engaged in manufacturing low-floor electric minibuses or similar products. Companies that can provide innovative and compliant environmentally-friendly vehicles will find this market highly suitable. With the ongoing emphasis on reducing emissions, suppliers capable of meeting such specific public sector requirements are encouraged to explore further collaborations with councils and agencies seeking greener public transport options.
