## Summary

Transport Scotland has awarded the Covid-19 Support Grant - Restart: Bains Coaches contract to support the provision of local passenger bus services affected by the impact of the COVID-19 virus. The contract covers the delivery of bus services in Scotland, with a total contract value of £281,486.74. The procurement process was initiated on 21st April 2021, and the contract was signed on 14th July 2020. The procurement method used was a limited procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to the emergency situation arising from COVID-19.

The awarded contract presents a business growth opportunity for Bains Coaches, an SME, as it allows them to provide essential local bus services supported by the Covid-19 Support Grant. Businesses in the transport services industry, particularly those involved in local passenger transportation, would be well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes. The contract was finalised after considering quality and price criteria, with a focus on meeting demand while adhering to physical distancing requirements.
