Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process pertains to the "Education Taxis and Minibuses Framework Agreement" established by Fife Council in Glenrothes, UK.

It falls under the services category, with an open procurement method, and was initiated on 12th March 2020, with a submission deadline set for 13th April 2020. The procurement was awarded following direct purchase methods after completing the tender stage.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses specialising in taxi and minibus services, particularly those capable of accommodating wheelchair users. Suppliers that can ensure reliable, safe transport, alongside good customer service, would be well-positioned to compete for contracts within this framework. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) in the transport sector are particularly encouraged to engage with this opportunity, as the framework aims to support local services and community benefits across Fife.

Notice Information

Notice Title

Education Taxis and Minibuses Framework Agreement

Notice Description

This Invitation to Tender is to establish a Framework Agreement for the supply of transport services principally for the conveyance of children and young people to schools and other educational establishments. However, it may also be used to provide replacement transport services where roadworks prevent a local bus service from serving its normal route and may also be used for the provision of other transport services for Fife Council, including the transport of school meals. Contracts operated through this Framework can generally be undertaken by taxis, private hire cars and minibuses, including the requirement for some of these vehicles to be capable of carrying passengers in wheelchairs. All journeys required will be organised, booked and managed by Fife Council staff or Fife College staff as Fife College will also be able to use this Framework. Contracts will be awarded using the direct purchase method described in the Invitation to Tender issued.
