Located in Alloa, in the UKM72 region, the procurement falls under the 'General public services' category.

The value of the contract is set at £20,663,696.06 and is currently active, awarded to Glenfarg Community Transport Group.

Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) can benefit from participating in this open-ended DPS, allowing new suppliers to apply at any time. Companies offering high-quality services and competitive pricing are well-suited to compete, as the award criteria heavily weigh price at 90% and 10% on quality.
