## Summary

North East Scotland College has completed the procurement process for the lease of minibuses to be utilised at its Aberdeenshire campuses. Acting as the buyer, the college sought suppliers within the education sector and successfully reached the award stage on 3rd February 2026. The procurement process concluded without a prior call for competition, utilising a direct call off through the CCS public procurement framework. The contract, valued at £59,040 GBP, was awarded to Wessex Fleet Solutions Ltd, who will supply the minibuses to Aberdeen City and Aberdeenshire locations. The process was classified outside the scope of the directive, handled through limited procurement methods, focusing on goods.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses specialising in vehicle leasing, particularly for those who can offer long-term leasing solutions. Companies with experience in handling contracts with educational institutions, and those listed on public procurement frameworks, would find themselves well-placed to compete effectively in similar procurement opportunities. Considering the contract value and location requirements, businesses in the transportation industry, especially SMEs, can leverage such opportunities to expand their market presence in the north-east of Scotland.
