Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council awarded transport contracts for services operated by taxis and private hire vehicles. The requirement covers passenger transport services arranged through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System, with work delivered mainly across the Perth and Kinross Council area and potentially across boundaries into neighbouring council areas. The contracting authority is Perth & Kinross Council. The procurement is classified as passenger transport support services (CPV 60120000) and falls within the services category. The award relates to one transport tender exercise under the Council’s DPS, rather than a general supply of vehicles or vehicle maintenance. Businesses suited to this opportunity are local or regional taxi and private hire operators able to provide transport services in Perth, Kinross and surrounding council areas.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded through an open procedure under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for taxi and private hire transport. The award covered one lot and was made on 9 October 2025. Three suppliers were selected: james miller, Derek Bright and WHTAXIS. The active contract is valued at £43,449.60 including the stated GBP currency. The tender exercise ran within the quarterly award period from 1 October 2025 to 31 December 2025. Thirteen bids were received, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The lot was marked complete, and the tender records that the Council may extend contracts beyond their original term if this was provided for in the tender documents. The procurement is covered by the GPA.

This award demonstrates established demand from Perth & Kinross Council for taxi and private hire transport, delivered mainly within its own area and potentially across neighbouring council boundaries. It also shows that the Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and an open route to appoint multiple SME operators, rather than relying on a single large transport provider. A credible competitor for similar future requirements would need to operate suitable taxi or private hire services, cover the relevant local geography and have the capacity to undertake Council transport work. The award also indicates that electronic participation is integral to this route, since all 13 bids were submitted electronically. The buyer’s quarterly reporting provides evidence of repeat purchasing activity in this service area.
