Summary of the contracting process

Abertay University, alongside Dundee and Angus College, has completed the procurement process for the provision of taxi services and private hire, using an open procedure. The services are defined under the CPV code 60120000, and the procurement was aimed at servicing locations including Dundee and the broader DD postcode area in Scotland. The process reached completion on 23rd April 2025, with awarded contracts covering Dundee and Broughty Ferry, private transfers across Scotland, and regional taxi services. This initiative, signed on 23rd April 2025, represents a collaborative effort by a public body governed by public law, and is categorized under education services within the UKM71 region.

The completion of this tender process offers significant opportunities for growth, particularly benefiting small and medium enterprises (SMEs) within the transport services sector, which were actively engaged as suppliers. Businesses like Tele Taxis (Dundee) Ltd, Birkhill Taxis, and other local operators are well-suited candidates, providing a mix of quality and competitive pricing. This engagement fosters local economic development and enhances service quality within the community. Furthermore, such opportunities can be pivotal for SMEs seeking to expand their service coverage and establish long-term partnerships with educational institutions in the region.
