The framework includes several lots across different licensing zones in Fife, with an anticipated contract duration of up to 720 days, extendable by up to 24 months.

This tender presents significant opportunities for local transport service providers, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), to secure contracts with Fife Council.
