Summary of the contracting process

The West Lothian Council is at the planning stage of a public procurement process for a new multi-supplier Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to provide large vehicle passenger transport services. This includes transporting more than 16 people, primarily for school transport but open to all council departments. The estimated value of the contract is £29 million. A tender briefing session is scheduled for interested suppliers, held virtually via MS Teams on February 18, with the tender submission deadline set for April 19, 2022.

This tender opportunity can benefit businesses offering transport services using vehicles with a capacity of 17 passenger seats or more. Companies providing public road transport services, non-scheduled passenger transport, and related services are well-suited to compete. This DPS aims to cater to various transport needs within the West Lothian Council area and potentially other areas in Scotland. Interested suppliers should ensure compliance with the financial stability requirements specified in the tender documentation.
