OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Moray Council, located on High Street, Elgin, involved a contract titled "18/1314 Community Services transport AS012 AS031 AS045" within the general public services category. The initiative required the provision of passenger transport services across various routes in the Moray region. This process has progressed to the award stage, with the contract being signed on 10th March 2026. The procurement method was 'limited', resulting in an award without prior publication of a call for competition, due to the absence of viable tenders in a previous open procedure. The total contract value is £195,085.50, and there is an option to extend the agreement for an additional 12 months period.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity by catering to service providers in the passenger transport industry, specifically those capable of meeting regional transportation needs. Given that the awarded supplier is a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME), companies of similar scale that can provide efficient community transportation services will find such opportunities appealing. The criteria for selection heavily emphasised price and quality, inviting competitive and innovative business models that can balance both attributes effectively. The contract opens doors for service expansion in a well-defined geographic area, fostering growth for transport providers looking to extend their reach in the UK market.
