Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council has announced an upcoming tender for the provision of subsidised bus network services, including fixed route local town services, town-to-town routes, and taxi-bus routes within the Scottish Borders area. This procurement process is currently in the planning stage and is expected to commence formally around August 30, 2024. The value of the contract is estimated at £2,000,000, with a maximum potential duration of up to 8 years. This procurement falls under the “Public road transport services” industry category (CPV code 60112000) and is open to engagement from both existing and new operators in the region.

This tender represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for public and private bus and taxi service providers. Businesses with capacity to deliver high-quality transport services and adhere to the governmental requirements, including proper licensing and insurance, would be particularly well-suited. Additionally, operators who can provide flexible and responsive service options will have a competitive edge. The Scottish Borders Council's emphasis on community benefits further provides an avenue for businesses to contribute positively to local communities, thereby enhancing their corporate social responsibility profiles.
