Summary of the contracting process

Neath Port Talbot County Borough Council procured passenger transport services for work in Neath Port Talbot. The requirement covers local bus, taxi, coach, minibus and special-purpose passenger transport, including school journeys, college and adult-care transport, day-centre travel and educational visits. Routes connect schools, colleges, care settings and residential areas across Neath, Port Talbot, Swansea, Maesteg, Bridgend and nearby communities. The main service category is passenger transport (CPV 60000000), with road transport, public road transport, taxi services and special-purpose passenger transport included. The council is the buyer and central purchasing body. Services are arranged through a dynamic purchasing system, with individual journeys and routes awarded to separate transport providers rather than one single supplier.

The procurement has reached the award stage: 781 individual contracts were awarded under the dynamic purchasing system, with active awards to numerous suppliers. The reported award coverage is 1 April 2026 to 30 June 2026. Contracts shown were signed on 30 June 2022 or 30 September 2022; individual recorded values include £90, £12,210.51, £114,000, £244,150, £425,600 and £490,200, each in GBP, and values differ by route. The procedure was selective using a restricted procedure, with price as the award criterion. It used electronic submission and allowed bids in English or Welsh. The DPS was intended to run for an initial 10 years, with annual extensions of up to five further years; recurrence was expected approximately 12 months before expiry.

This award record demonstrates sustained demand from the council for geographically focused passenger transport, with routes serving primary and secondary schools, colleges, adult-care settings, day centres and educational trips. A credible competitor would need suitable taxis, minibuses, coaches or buses, reliable drivers and the operational capacity to cover scheduled routes between communities across Neath Port Talbot and neighbouring South Wales areas. The awarded supplier base is predominantly made up of small and medium-sized local transport businesses, alongside larger bus operators, so the requirement is relevant to both established fleets and capable smaller operators. The route-by-route structure also suits firms able to deliver individual services rather than a council-wide network. Price competitiveness was central to selection, alongside meeting the transport requirement.
