Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council has completed the award process for the procurement titled "DPS Adoc Bus and Coach Hire January - March 2026," associated with Adhoc Bus and Coach hires. The industry category falls under general public services and housing and community amenities, with geographical focus primarily in the UKM72 region, Glenrothes, Fife. This procurement process, which is now at the award stage, involved a limited procurement method without prior publication due to a lack of suitable tenders from an open procedure. The contract, valued at £88,242.00, was signed on 31 March 2026, indicating completion of the process.

This tender offers significant opportunities for large-scale transportation service providers specialising in bus and coach hire within the region. Businesses such as A1 Minibus & Coach Services, Bay Travel Coaches, and others have been successful in securing portions of this contract. The nature of the procurement—based on the Intend system for booking and operation—provides a stable demand for transportation services, allowing enterprises to expand their footprint and reinforce their service capabilities in the local authority areas. Companies with robust operational capacity, experience in regional transport, and a focus on community amenities would find this contract particularly advantageous for business growth and service diversification.
