Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council is leading a framework contract for transportation services, focusing on both bus and taxi provisions. The procurement process is currently at the award update stage, with key amendments implemented as recently as June 2025. The framework includes services for children, adults, and protected adults and is categorized under the services sector, specifically targeting transportation within Renfrewshire, Scotland (UKM83). The contract period commenced on 28th January 2022 and is set to conclude on 27th January 2026, with an estimated value increase to £10 million due to unforeseen circumstances like fuel and insurance cost rises. The contract amendment, signed on 27th January 2022, modified the procurement value by up to £2 million. The open procurement approach has been chosen to facilitate broad community participation, allowing multiple service providers to contribute to this critical social venture.

This procurement provides significant business growth opportunities particularly for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transportation services. The contract covers multiple lots, including Additional Support Needs Taxis and Buses, as well as ad hoc bus and taxi services, which offers flexibility for businesses with diverse capabilities in personal and group transportation. The framework is tailored to organizations that can provide bespoke transportation solutions, ensuring compliance with stringent legal requirements. With a focus on local engagement and offering extensions and options for contract renewal, businesses that support community benefits and fall under the regulation of the Civic Government (Scotland) Act are well-suited to compete. This initiative encourages involvement from businesses looking to expand their operational footprint in the Renfrewshire area while contributing to public service objectives.
