This contract was conducted using a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, and SPT prioritised a 70% emphasis on price alongside a 30% focus on quality in its evaluation. The contract signing was completed on 31st March 2026, with a deal value of £2,165,636. The award status is active, contributing to SPT's ongoing commitment to local transportation solutions.

Companies focusing on transport logistics, with a capacity to operate within the West Central Scotland area, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts in future procurement cycles. The existence of options for contract variation indicates an avenue for flexibility and potential contract growth, providing long-term engagement opportunities for participating suppliers.
