OJEU - F20 - Modification Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council commissioned a modification to its existing GoFlexi taxibus service. The work is a passenger transport service, classified under CPV 60140000, covering two related changes: expanding the existing GoFlexi pilot provision within West Fife and introducing a trial GoFlexi taxibus service in Levenmouth. Delivery is centred on Levenmouth, with the wider existing provision covering North and West Fife. The requirement is therefore for an operator able to provide demand-responsive or flexible bus services, manage local passenger transport operations and extend an established service into a trial area. Fife Council is the buying organisation. The modification responds to recommendations in a 2025 consultant’s bus review, following the initial contract’s commencement in 2023.

This procurement has reached the award and contract stage. The modification was awarded to Moffat & Williamson Ltd, an SME, and the contract is active. The contract was signed on 13 August 2026 and runs for 210 days. Its value is £3,665,339. The arrangement concerns one lot and uses a modification to an existing taxibus contract rather than a new competition. The stated rationale is that the Levenmouth trial arose from recommendations in a 2025 consultant’s bus review, two years after the initial contract began in 2023, and from circumstances the contracting authority could not reasonably have foreseen. The award covers the expansion of the West Fife GoFlexi pilot and the Levenmouth trial service.

For suppliers assessing future flexible public transport work, this award demonstrates demand from Fife Council for substantial, locally delivered GoFlexi taxibus operations and for extending an established service into a new trial area. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to run demand-responsive passenger services across North, West and Levenmouth Fife, manage an expansion alongside existing provision, and support a pilot whose performance can inform future transport decisions. Relevant experience would include coordinating vehicles, drivers, bookings and passenger journeys across a defined local area, while adapting service delivery to recommendations from transport reviews. The successful supplier’s SME status also indicates that this scale and service model can be delivered by a suitably capable specialist rather than only by a large national operator.
