Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) procures passenger transport for its School and Vocational Services through a dynamic purchasing system. This process covers contract awards across the system’s lots for the July-to-September 2026 quarter; the service is non-scheduled passenger transport. The delivery area is Scotland, with the buyer based in Glasgow. The contracting opportunity is transport provision for school and vocational services, rather than a purchase of vehicles. SPT is the organisation buying the services and also operates as a central purchasing body. The published award information points to SPT’s procurement awards page for details of individual contracts.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded through a restricted procedure under SPT’s dynamic purchasing system. SPT is named as the supplier for the award, and the contract is active. The contract value is £2,030,297; it was signed on 7 August 2026. The award reporting covers 1 July to 30 September 2026, but no contract start or end date is stated. Evaluation used a 90% price and 10% quality split: contingency planning for unforeseen emergencies accounted for 4% and vehicle presentation and vehicle condition for 3% each. The process refers to awards across all lots, while the reported lot is marked cancelled; the release does not explain this alongside the active award and contract.

For transport operators considering similar future School and Vocational Services work for SPT, this award demonstrates demand for non-scheduled passenger transport delivered in Scotland through a dynamic purchasing system and restricted competition. Credible suppliers need to offer competitive pricing, while also showing sound contingency planning for unforeseen emergencies and the ability to maintain vehicles that are well presented and in good condition. The published quality breakdown gives those operational qualities a measurable role in evaluation, although price carries the majority of the scoring. The buyer’s selection of SPT as supplier means the award does not identify an independent transport operator’s delivery capabilities; it does, however, show the kind of service requirement and evaluation balance against which competing transport providers would need to position themselves. The procurement is specific to school and vocational passenger services. Mustaqbal of similar need, or timing of any return to market, is not established by this award.
