Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process described is initiated by Fife Council for the "DPS Adoc Bus and Coach Hire October - December 2024" contract. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically focusing on transport services, within the region of UKM72. The process is currently at the award and contract stage, with an award date of 1st October 2024. Fife Council, as the central purchasing body, conducted a limited procurement method due to the need for an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as there were no tenders or suitable tenders in response to a previous restricted procedure. This results in a contract valued at £59,545.93, underscoring their role in the Commonwealth's general public services.

This tender presents opportunities for large-scale transport businesses interested in the ad-hoc hire of buses and coaches. Companies involved in providing transport services can benefit from increased demand and market engagement through participating in such contract opportunities. Organisations like A1 Minibus & Coach Services LTD and Bay Travel Coaches Ltd were successfully awarded parts of this contract, which indicates that transport businesses of substantial operational scale are well-suited to compete for similar future tenders, potentially securing steady revenue streams and fostering business growth within the local and regional centres around Glenrothes and beyond.
