## Summary

Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the purchase of a single deck coach, specifically a Plaxton Leopard model. This procurement falls under the industry category of General public services and is classified under CPV code 34121500. The procurement took place in Newtown St Boswells, corresponding to region UKM91. The process reached its award stage and was finalised on 19th June 2025. The procurement method employed was 'limited' due to technical reasons, which did not involve a prior publication of a competition call.

Businesses adept at fulfilling niche demands without a need for competition might find similar opportunities lucrative, aligning well with entities like MISTRAL BUS & COACH PLC, an SME that secured the tender. Additionally, contracts that involve pre-registered goods ready for delivery enhance growth opportunities by enabling rapid transaction completions and fostering sustained business dynamics.
