OJEU - F2 - Contract Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Clackmannanshire Council is establishing a dynamic purchasing system for passenger and other transport services in Alloa and the wider Clackmannanshire area. The requirement covers journeys for children and vulnerable adults to meet education and social care needs, as well as other passenger or goods transport. Suppliers can apply for work using either public service vehicles with nine or more passenger seats, or taxis and private hire cars with eight or fewer seats. The service category is passenger transport (CPV 60170000). The requirement is divided into these two vehicle-size lots, and businesses may apply for both. Individual contract opportunities will use their own lots and pricing schedules.

The buyer invited offers through an open procedure to establish the dynamic purchasing system. The stated bid deadline was 30 July 2035 at 12 noon, and the tender also gives that time as the bid-opening time; a later amendment changes both dates to 5 October 2026 at 12 noon. The published contract periods are 3,330 days for the public service vehicle lot and 3,420 days for the taxi and private hire lot. No overall contract value is stated. Bids must be submitted electronically in English and remain valid for 90 days. Variants are not allowed. Applicants must provide the names and qualifications of assigned staff. Evaluation includes economic and technical selection criteria, with a method statement and driver and vehicle schedule among the tender materials.

This opportunity is suited to licensed passenger transport operators able to provide vehicles and drivers for school and social-care journeys, including transport for children and vulnerable adults. Operators can apply according to their fleet capacity: the requirement has a separate route for vehicles seating nine or more passengers and for taxis or private hire cars seating eight or fewer. The buyer requires details of assigned staff and their qualifications, and asks applicants for a driver and vehicle schedule and a method statement. The tender also includes a subcontractor questionnaire, so businesses planning to use subcontractors should be prepared to address that element. Community benefits and subcontracting clauses form part of the requirement; the detailed obligations and expected benefits are set out in the tender materials.
