PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a child care education transport service for pupils travelling to Crieff High School. The requirement is a taxi or private hire car service, classified under CPV 60120000, operating on schooldays. The appointed provider is expected to transport children safely and reliably between their relevant locations and the school. This is a local passenger transport opportunity rather than a general vehicle hire, bus service or education provision contract. It is relevant to licensed taxi and private hire operators, transport companies with suitable vehicles, and organisations experienced in scheduled school transport. The buyer is Perth & Kinross Council, and the service is centred on Crieff High School and its associated transport routes within the council area.

This procurement has been awarded. Perth Radio Taxis Limited was selected as the supplier, with an award value of £35,530 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract is active and was signed on 8 October 2026. The requirement was run as a Quick Quote award for taxi and private hire car services. The tender concerned one child care education transport requirement, with bids evaluated through the procurement process. Three bids were recorded. The tender description states that service starts on Tuesday 18 August 2026 and operates on schooldays only. The tender submission deadline was 7 January 2027. This outcome shows a completed award rather than an opportunity to submit a bid for the current requirement.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to provide licensed taxi or private hire services for child education transport, with suitable vehicles, dependable drivers and the operational capacity to cover scheduled school journeys on schooldays. Experience transporting children, managing repeat daily routes and meeting safeguarding, reliability and passenger-care expectations would strengthen a supplier’s position. Local knowledge of Crieff, the surrounding area and school travel patterns would be commercially useful, as would the ability to maintain consistent cover when vehicles or drivers are unavailable. The successful supplier was Perth Radio Taxis Limited, indicating that an established local taxi operator can meet the buyer’s needs. Taxi firms and transport providers with comparable school transport capability should monitor this council’s future requirements.
