PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award
Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured services for an additional support needs school taxi contract. The requirement is for taxi or private-hire vehicle transport supporting school travel for pupils with additional support needs. It sits within the taxi services category and concerns passenger transport rather than vehicle supply, infrastructure or general fleet services. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, whose Housing & Communities function manages the requirement. The successful service is associated with the council’s area and is aimed at meeting school transport needs for additional support needs pupils. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi and private-hire operators able to provide organised school journeys for this passenger group and work within the council’s contracting arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded. D&J Taxis was selected for the contract at £17,100 including the stated GBP currency, and the related contract is recorded as active. The service is described as starting on Tuesday 18 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 7 January 2027. Three bids were recorded. The opportunity was handled as a taxi/private-hire contract under a quick-quote award process. The published outcome identifies one award and one supplier; it does not set out a separate award date or contract end date. The requirement was evaluated through the procurement process that produced the selection of D&J Taxis, but the available outcome does not state the individual scoring criteria or weightings used.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys defined taxi and private-hire transport for additional support needs school travel through a quick-quote route. A credible future competitor would need to be an established taxi or private-hire operator able to organise reliable school journeys for pupils with additional support needs. The requirement suits businesses with suitable vehicles, available drivers and the operational capacity to provide planned passenger transport rather than ad hoc journeys. D&J Taxis’ selection indicates that a focused local operator can satisfy this type of council requirement. Firms monitoring this buyer should be prepared to demonstrate their ability to deliver this specific service consistently and at the required scale.
