Summary of the contracting process

West Lothian Council is initiating a public procurement process for the "WLC Small Vehicle Transport DPS" to establish a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for small vehicle passenger transport services, primarily involving vehicles with a capacity of up to 16 passengers. This procurement falls under the services category and is located within the West Lothian Council area, with a project value estimated at £40 million. The procurement is currently in the planning stage, with a virtual briefing session scheduled for 17 February 2022, where suppliers can learn more about the opportunities and requirements of the tender.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those specialising in passenger transport services, educational transport, or broader social service transport. Companies that can provide vehicles compliant with the specified capacity and adapt to varied transport needs—including home-to-school services, ad hoc transport requests, and inter-location journeys—would be well-suited to compete in this procurement process. Participating in this DPS could enable businesses to secure long-term contracts and strengthen their presence within the West Lothian area and potentially other regions across Scotland.
