Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Project to update the Tactran Bus development plan" was initiated by the Tayside and Central Scotland Transport Partnership (TACTRAN), a regional or local authority focused on transport initiatives. Located in Perth, TACTRAN sought to secure consultancy services to enhance the Tactran bus development plan. The procurement followed an open procedure, indicating a transparent approach to selecting suppliers. Initially tendered on 2nd September 2025 and intended to conclude by 31st March 2026, this service-focused contract had a value of £35,000. Key procurement stages included a tender period ending on 19th September 2025 and subsequent contract award on the same day, with contractual activities commencing 16th October 2025. The award was made to Transport Analysis & Advocacy Ltd, marking the transition from the tender to the active contract stage.

This opportunity offered substantial potential for businesses, particularly those in transport consultancy, to gain significant experience and showcase their expertise in sustainable transport solutions. Large-scale businesses, especially those with a focus on public transport and regional development, were well-suited to compete due to the scale and strategic importance of the project. The project was designed to strengthen public transport infrastructure by leveraging expert consultancy, which could result in increased business credibility and exposure within the public sector transportation industry. With all bids submitted electronically, companies with proficient digital communication could particularly benefit from the efficient submission and evaluation processes involved.
