## Summary

Scottish Borders Council has awarded a contract for the provision of Bus Service 128, covering the route from Hawick to Newcastleton. This procurement process falls under the general public services category and utilises a limited procurement method. The procurement stage is complete as of 4th September 2024, with the contract being signed on 5th August 2024. The service will be essential for the local region, classified under CPV code 60112000, and was awarded to Telford's Coaches Ltd. The decision was made without prior publication of a call for competition, rationalised by the integration with an existing school service contract.

Companies specialising in regional transportation services or public transit solutions would be well-suited to compete in similar future opportunities. The awarded contract, valued at £136,285, highlights the potential financial benefits and the strategic importance of aligning with local authority needs. Businesses capable of providing high-quality and competitively priced services will find this sector promising for expansion and establishing strong local partnerships.
