PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured taxi and private hire vehicle services for an Additional Support Needs school transport contract. The requirement is to provide school taxi journeys for pupils with additional support needs, starting from Tuesday 18 August 2026. The service falls within the taxi services category (CPV 60120000) and is delivered for the council in Perth and the surrounding Perth & Kinross area. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general consultancy requirement. It is relevant to licensed taxi and private hire operators, dispatch businesses and transport providers able to deliver reliable school journeys for children who require additional support. The awarded suppliers are local Perth operators, indicating a requirement suited to businesses with operational coverage in the area.

The procurement has been awarded following a quick quote process, with two bids recorded. Ace Taxis Perth Ltd was selected as supplier for the Additional Support Needs School Taxi Contract, at an awarded value of £20,900 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract is recorded as active and was signed on 8 October 2026. The tender had a submission deadline of 7 January 2027, although the contract had already been awarded and signed by the recorded contract date. The requirement was evaluated through the quick quote award route. This outcome concerns one awarded supplier and one service requirement; the award value should not be treated as a wider programme total or combined with other taxi work.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates that Perth & Kinross Council buys local taxi and private hire capacity for Additional Support Needs school transport through a quick quote route. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to be an established operator able to provide dependable school journeys, maintain suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage regular passenger transport safely and consistently. Local coverage around Perth and Perth & Kinross would be important, as would the capacity to meet scheduled school travel requirements and respond to the needs of pupils requiring additional support. The successful market comprises taxi operators rather than general transport contractors, so businesses with relevant licensing, experienced drivers, robust scheduling and safeguarding arrangements would be well placed.
