Summary of the contracting process

Devon County Council has completed its selective procurement process for the supply and provision of home to school transport services across Devon, under Lot 3 of its Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract, valued at £566,703.50, has been awarded to Jas Cars Ltd. This award was made following a restricted procedure, with the procurement process concluding by June 2026 and the contract period running from 15th June 2026 to 14th June 2031. These services fall under the broader transport services category, excluding waste transport, and the detailed scope includes the operation of routes EXVH002, EXVH011, and EXSB013 in the South West of England.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for SMEs, particularly those capable of delivering specialised transport services, to support mobility for scholars in Devon. Companies with expertise in providing reliable and consistent transport services could find this procurement opportunity advantageous for long-term growth and partnership with local authorities. SMEs stand to benefit significantly from the stable five-year contract duration, ensuring a steady revenue stream and the potential for enhanced presence in the South West's transport sector. Businesses operating in the transport services industry, particularly those familiar with the regulatory requirements and local geographic conditions, are well-suited to compete in this procurement space.
