Summary of the contracting process

The Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT), operating from Glasgow, has completed an award stage for local subsidised bus service contracts under its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The procurement, under a restricted procedure, covered non-scheduled passenger transport services in West Central Scotland. The contracts were active for the period from 1st July to 30th September 2025. The process was governed by European Union legal basis CELEX 32014L0024 and adhered to the GPA. A key detail in this contract award process is the criteria with a 70% emphasis on price and a 30% focus on quality through technical questions.

This tender represents a strategic opportunity for businesses within the passenger transport industry, particularly those experienced in providing subsidised bus services. The emphasis on a 70/30 price-quality evaluation offers a competitive edge to companies that can provide cost-effective solutions without compromising on service quality. Large businesses, such as the current awarded supplier, c/o SPT, as well as SMEs that can meet the technical and financial criteria, would find this an attractive prospect for growth and expansion into West Central Scotland.
