Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council is the contracting authority initiating a public procurement process titled "Transport for Education, Social Care and other requirements under a Dynamic Purchasing System". This initiative focuses on acquiring services in the transport sector, specifically tailored to meet the travel needs for education and social care, involving both passenger vehicles and taxi/private hire cars. Based in Alloa, within the region UKM72, this tender is managed through an open procedure under the main category of services. The process commenced at the planning stage and is now in the award phase, with a contract value of GBP 20,663,696.06, dated and signed on 13th May 2026. The tender offers an open-ended Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), allowing new suppliers to join at any time, which positions it to continuously accommodate evolving service demands.

For enterprises seeking growth, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this tender represents a significant opportunity, especially for those capable of providing compliant transport services within the specified parameters. The procurement method encourages fair competition and transparency, with a significant portion of the award criteria focused on price (90%) and quality (10%). Companies specialising in public service vehicles (PSVs) and taxi/private hire services within the UK, and particularly those adept in handling transport for education or social care sectors, are ideally suited to participate. This engagement not only promises substantial financial returns but also positions successful bidders as vital contributors to community welfare through reliable and efficient transport solutions.
