Summary of the contracting process

Renfrewshire Council procured additional support needs taxi and passenger transport services in Renfrewshire. The requirement covers individual call-off contracts awarded through a mini-competition under Lot 2 of the council’s Framework for Transportation. The service category is taxi and small passenger vehicle transport, including vehicles for fewer than 10 people (CPV 60120000 and 34115200). The work is delivered across Renfrewshire, for the council’s additional support needs transport requirements. The buying organisation is Renfrewshire Council, based in Paisley. Only service providers already appointed to Lot 2 of the transportation framework were eligible to take part in this mini-competition. The arrangement uses multiple suppliers to provide separate transport call-offs rather than one single service contract.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded through an open procedure mini-competition under a framework agreement. One lot was used, covering individual call-off contracts. Awards were made to TOA Cabs Ltd, Ryan Kidd t/a Ryan Kidd Hires, Gladi8tor Transfers & Travel Ltd and Paisley Cab Co. Ltd trading as Renfrewshire Cab Company. Thirty active contracts are recorded, with individual values ranging from £13,908 to £121,600. Examples include £21,584 for TOA Cabs Ltd, £66,880 for Ryan Kidd Hires, £121,600 for Gladi8tor Transfers & Travel Ltd and £46,360 for Paisley Cab Co. The recorded signing dates are 21 July 2023 and 21 July 2026. The evaluation was conducted among eligible Lot 2 framework providers, with electronic bids recorded and all reported bidders classified as SMEs.

This procurement demonstrates recurring local authority demand for additional support needs taxi transport delivered across Renfrewshire. It is commercially relevant to small and medium-sized taxi, private-hire, minibus and passenger transport operators with the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to provide reliable journeys for passengers with additional support needs. The successful supplier group shows that the requirement can be delivered by several local operators rather than only by a large national transport company. A credible future competitor would need to qualify for the relevant transportation framework before entering a similar mini-competition, maintain sufficient vehicles and driver availability for individual call-offs, and demonstrate dependable local coverage. The route to market is therefore particularly relevant to established Renfrewshire-area operators able to meet framework eligibility and electronic tendering requirements.
