Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council procured a modification to its existing GoFlexi taxibus contract. The requirement is non-scheduled passenger transport: expanding the existing GoFlexi pilot service in West Fife and introducing a trial service in Levenmouth. The work is delivered in Levenmouth, with the wider service context covering North and West Fife. GoFlexi is a demand-responsive taxibus service, so this opportunity concerns the operation and extension of flexible passenger transport rather than a conventional fixed-route bus network. The buyer is Fife Council, based at Fife House in Glenrothes. The contract modification extends the established pilot provision and brings the service into a further Fife area following recommendations from a 2025 Bus Review Report.

This procurement has been awarded. Fife Council awarded the modification to Moffat & Williamson Ltd, an SME, and the award is active. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and has a duration of 210 days. Its value is £3,665,339. The award covers one lot for expanding the existing West Fife GoFlexi pilot and trialling GoFlexi in Levenmouth. The modification extends the North and West Fife GoFlexi taxibus service into Levenmouth. The council states that the change followed recommendations in a consultant’s 2025 Bus Review Report, made two years after the initial contract began in 2023, and resulted from circumstances it says could not have been foreseen by a diligent contracting authority.

This award indicates demand from Fife Council for suppliers able to operate and extend demand-responsive taxibus services in a local-authority setting. A credible competitor for similar work would need the operational capacity to run flexible passenger transport, manage a pilot or trial service, and extend an established service into a new community while maintaining provision in existing areas. Relevant experience would include scheduling and dispatching non-scheduled passenger journeys, coordinating vehicles and drivers, and adapting service delivery following transport reviews or pilot findings. Local knowledge of Fife, including West Fife and Levenmouth, would support effective delivery. The awarded supplier is an SME, showing that this type of requirement can be delivered by a suitably capable smaller transport business.
