Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council has completed the procurement process for their project titled "Transport for Education, Social Care and other requirements under a Dynamic Purchasing System." The procurement, categorized under the "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver" service, falls within the services category. Situated in Alloa, United Kingdom, with a focus on the UKM72 region, it employed an open procedure to invite submissions. This dynamic purchasing system (DPS) facilitates various transportation needs, specifically focusing on educational and social care purposes for children and vulnerable adults. The DPS remains open-ended, allowing new suppliers to join at any time. The award for the lot "PSV - 9 or more passenger seats" was given to Glenfarg Community Transport Group, with a contract value of £20,663,696.06. The procurement stage reached completion with the contract signed on 13th May 2026.

This tender presents robust opportunities for businesses involved in public transport services, particularly those capable of providing passenger transport vehicles with drivers, either as public service vehicles (PSVs) or taxis/private hire cars. Small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are well-positioned to take advantage of this procurement structure given the experience required in serving public sector needs. The DPS framework's open-ended nature allows ongoing onboarding, which encourages continuous growth and promises long-term partnerships. Businesses specializing in transporting children, vulnerable adults, or providing goods transport services would find this contract opportunity particularly rewarding, fostering growth through increased service demands facilitated under the supportive structure of Clackmannanshire Council's procurement process.
