Summary of the contracting process

Stirling Council has awarded contracts for a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) tailored for school, social care, and other transport services via taxi and private hire cars with a maximum capacity of 8 seats. The services cater to the educational and social care needs of children and vulnerable adults, and they also include other passenger or goods transport requirements. Tendering also incorporates Demand Responsive Transport (DRT). The procurement process has progressed to the award stage with 19 suppliers engaged, covering the Stirling area and its cross-boundary needs. Key dates include the announcement of the award on November 13, 2024, and contracts signed on August 1, 2024. The selective procurement method was employed, reflecting a restricted procedure for this service category defined under CPV 60120000 (Taxi services). The DPS remains open for new applicants over its lifespan, allowing SMEs to participate continuously.

This DPS structure provides numerous growth opportunities for businesses involved in transport and logistics within the Stirling Council region. SMEs specialising in taxi and private hire car services, especially those experienced in catering to school and social care transport, are best positioned to benefit. The inclusion of DRT services also broadens the scope, making it suitable for companies with flexible scheduling capacities and those looking to expand their services within educational and social sectors. Details on gaining and maintaining necessary licenses, adherence to PVG scheme requirements, and the acceptance of electronic submissions further facilitate business participation, ensuring compliance and operational readiness.

    "description": "The DPS shall remain open to new applicants throughout the period of the agreement. There is no guarantee of any contracts/spend through the lifetime of the DPS. Companies may leave and apply/re-apply to join the DPS during the lifetime of this DPS. This award notice shows a list of the current companies who have joined the DPS and not necessarily awarded. Award of contracts lists are held within the Stirling Council's Transport Service which can be requested at any time. Economic operators may be excluded from this competition if they are in any situations referred to in regulation 58 of the Public Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2015. Where the total value of individual or collective contracts in this DPS exceeds 35,000 GBP successful bidders are required to provide community benefits proportional to the value of the contracts awarded. Contracts awarded under the DPS involve the transport of children and/or vulnerable adults. This is classed as regulated work under the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (Scotland) Act 2007, therefore any person undertaking regulated work must be a member of the PVG scheme for the type of work being undertaken prior to any contracts being awarded. Suppliers must have the relevant licence(s) or permits at the award stage i.e Private Hire, Taxi Operator etc as well as appropriate insurances. The award criteria may be more precisely formulated at tender stage (mini-competitions). This may involve changes to the current 90/10 weightings and there may be further quality criteria added.
