Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has completed a procurement process under the title "DPS Adoc Bus and Coach Hire July - September 2024" with a primary focus on the services industry category. The contract, aimed at the adhoc hire of buses and coaches, has reached the award stage as of May 2025. This process operates under a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition due to no suitable tenders from a restricted procedure. The procurement is facilitated for locations within the UKM72 region, highlighting the preferences for local service providers. Notably, the contract was signed on 30th September 2024, with a total value of £32,354.98.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses offering transport services, particularly those capable of providing flexible bus and coach hire solutions. Large-scale suppliers, such as A1 Minibus & Coach Services LTD and Stagecoach East Scotland, among others, are well-suited to respond to the demand established by Fife Council's requirements. Businesses that can meet dynamic scheduling needs and provide comprehensive transport services can leverage this opportunity for growth, positioning themselves as essential partners for regional authorities and organisations looking for reliable transport solutions. The procurement's nature, focused on adhoc hire, suggests ongoing and emerging opportunities for responsive and adaptable businesses within the area.
