Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has completed a procurement process for "DCC: Lot 1 - 14th October 2024 PCV", focusing on the provision of home-to-school transport services in the South West of England. The procurement utilised a restricted procedure within the passenger transport industry, excluding waste transport services. The tender, valued at £712,500, commenced with an end date of 14th October 2024 and concluded with the contract period set to start on 4th November 2024 and end on 3rd November 2029. Notably, the procurement process was marked by its suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). The award phase culminated on 17th October 2024, with Bernie Taxi Services and Tally Ho Coaches Ltd being selected as suppliers.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in transport services, particularly those within the South West region. The long-term nature of the contracts, lasting five years, offers substantial business growth potential through sustained income and service provision. Businesses with expertise in passenger transport—such as taxi services and coach companies—are particularly well-suited to compete in similar future tenders. The involvement of prominent local companies such as Bernie Taxi Services and Tally Ho Coaches Ltd underscores the accessibility and appeal of this market segment for other SMEs seeking to expand their operational footprint.
