## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council has completed a procurement process for the hire of two EVM Cityline Minibuses, awarded on 24th July 2026. The contract, identified as WR-595, was conducted under a limited procurement method due to extreme urgency, allowing the supplier to provide the vehicles immediately. The contract, valued at £165,360, was signed on 26th June 2026. The vehicles are to be delivered in the UKM91 region, specifically aimed at enhancing general public services. This process was carried out without prior publication of a call for competition.

This procurement presents business growth opportunities, particularly for companies with the ability to supply transportation solutions, such as minibus hires under tight deadlines. It is especially suited for SMEs like MISTRAL BUS & COACH PLC, the awarded supplier, which are adaptable and can meet sudden demand increases. Companies with logistical capabilities that can address the needs of local authorities in such unforeseen urgent situations will likely find similar opportunities beneficial for expanding their client base and service offerings in the public sector.
