Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for local subsidised bus services in the region of West Central Scotland has been completed by the Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT). This award forms part of SPT's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), covering contracts from 1st April 2025 to 30th June 2025, under the industry category of non-scheduled passenger transport. The procurement method used was a selective, restricted procedure, in accordance with the legal basis set by the EU directive 32014L0024. The selection criteria comprised a 70% focus on price and 30% on quality, with the contracts being subject to possible variations. The contracts, valued at approximately £8.47 million, were signed on 25th June 2025.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in the provision of subsidised passenger transport services, particularly those capable of meeting the quality and pricing standards of the SPT. Companies that can effectively offer reliable and flexible non-scheduled transport services could find notable business growth through engaging with this DPS. With a large volume of bids submitted, including contributions from SMEs and non-EU enterprises, there is evidently considerable interest and competition in this market, suggesting ample opportunities for businesses ready to scale their operations and partner with SPT. The procurement's focus on both cost-efficiency and service quality presents a balanced opportunity for diverse business strategies to succeed.
