Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Clackmannanshire Council is for the "Transport for Education, Social Care and other requirements" under a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS). The award stage of this process was completed on 17th July 2025. The procurement is within the industry category of services and focuses on transport needs, specifically Public Service Vehicle (PSV) with nine or more passenger seats and Taxi/Private Hire Car (PHC) with eight or fewer passenger seats, aimed at supporting the education and social care sectors. The process followed an open procurement method, and the contracts for both lots were signed on 25th June 2025. The main area of delivery is within the UK region of UKM72, covering general public services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the transport service sector, especially those capable of meeting the needs of educational and social care transport. The DPS framework fosters business growth by allowing small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) such as taxi services and coach operators to apply, with the potential for long-term contracts spanning up to ten years. With a strong emphasis on quality and price, businesses focusing on passenger transport services will be well-suited to compete. The inclusion of multiple suppliers, from large providers to local SMEs, suggests a diverse business landscape encouraging competitive pricing and high service standards.
