Summary of the contracting process

Scottish Borders Council, a regional authority in Newtown St Boswells, is initiating an open procurement process for the provision of a demand-responsive taxi-bus service in the Berwickshire area. The procurement falls under the services category and is conducted through an open procedure. The tender is currently active, and interested parties must submit their bids electronically by 12th May 2025. The contract is expected to start from 1st July 2025 and run until 30th June 2028, with potential extensions permitting a maximum duration of up to five years. This procurement offers opportunities for businesses holding a Taxi or Private Hire Operator Licence and aims to foster community benefits through sustainable practices and local engagement.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in transport services, particularly those experienced in demand-responsive transit solutions. Companies capable of meeting the insurance and licensing requirements set by the Scottish Borders Council will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, organisations that demonstrate a proactive approach to tackling climate change and maintain robust safety policies will have an edge in fulfilling the contract’s technical criteria. Given the focus on community benefits, businesses that align with social value delivery—such as local employment and environmental sustainability—can leverage this tender to grow their reputation and market presence within the region.
