## Summary

Fife Council, based in Glenrothes, has awarded a contract for the purchase of welfare buses for Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) services. The contract, valued at £497,447.28, falls under the industry category of motor vehicles, including specialist and welfare vehicles. This procurement process reached the award stage on 8th August 2024, when the contract was signed. The procurement involved a competitive tender process, with three bids submitted, and the successful supplier is Stanford Coachworks and Mobility Services Ltd, located in Stanford le Hope.

This tender offers a substantial opportunity for businesses involved in the production and supply of specialist motor vehicles, particularly those focusing on welfare and transport minibuses.

The contract underscores the importance of capability in custom vehicle solutions and presents growth potential for suppliers aiming to collaborate with municipal councils on public transport initiatives.
