PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a taxi or private-hire vehicle service for an Additional Support Needs school transport contract. The requirement is for transporting pupils with additional support needs, beginning on Tuesday 18 August 2026. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, and the named suppliers and the contract addresses are in Perth. The procurement is therefore relevant to taxi and private-hire vehicle operators able to provide school transport services in the Perth and Kinross area. The classification is CPV 60120000, covering taxi services. The requirement is specific to additional support needs school journeys, so operators without suitable vehicles, drivers or experience in this type of passenger transport may find it less relevant.

The procurement has been awarded. D&J Taxis was selected for the contract at a value of £24,700. The contract is recorded as active and was signed on 8 October 2026. The requirement was advertised as a quick quote award, and two bids were recorded. The tender closing date was 7 January 2027. The published description gives the service start date as Tuesday 18 August 2026. The available outcome records one award and one supplier; Perth Radio Taxis Limited is also identified as a supplier party, but is not named as the awarded supplier. The procurement is for services and concerns a single Additional Support Needs School Taxi Contract, rather than several separately described lots. The award record does not state an evaluation weighting or a separate contract end date.

For a taxi or private-hire operator, this procurement shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys dedicated school transport for pupils with additional support needs through a quick quote route. A credible future supplier would need to operate legally compliant taxi or private-hire vehicles, provide dependable scheduled journeys, and demonstrate the capacity to cover school transport commitments in the Perth area. The requirement also points to the importance of suitable arrangements for passengers with additional support needs, including appropriately trained and reliable drivers and safe vehicle operations. Businesses competing when this requirement returns would benefit from experience of council-funded school transport, the ability to manage regular pupil journeys, and sufficient local availability to provide continuity of service. The two recorded bids indicate competition from established local operators.
