OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has recently completed the procurement process for the "TT0019 - Education Taxi and Minibus Framework" contract, aimed at providing transport services primarily for the conveyance of children and young people to educational establishments across Fife. The framework also covers the provision of replacement transport services in case of roadworks and may be used for other transport services, such as delivering school meals. The contract, which involves taxis, private hire cars, and minibuses (up to 22 passenger seats) including Wheelchair Accessible Vehicles (WAV), was signed on 9 May 2024. The location for service delivery covers Fife and its surrounding areas, and the procurement stages have progressed from planning to the award stage with an overall contract value of £5,930,000.

This tender presents numerous opportunities for businesses in the transport industry, especially for those offering taxi, private hire car, and minibus services, including WAVs. Small and medium-sized enterprises are particularly well-suited for this contract as the awarded suppliers include various SME operators. The open procurement procedure used by Fife Council allowed a wide range of businesses to compete, leading to a substantial framework that includes 101 suppliers. This framework not only provides continuous business opportunities but also encourages community benefits, requiring successful contractors to contribute to community initiatives if their contract value exceeds £300,000 per annum.
