Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a taxi or private-hire vehicle service for additional support needs school transport. The requirement is described as an Additional Support Needs School Taxi Contract, covering transport for pupils who require additional support to travel to school. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, with the council’s Housing & Communities function involved in the procurement. The service is associated with Perth, and the selected supplier, Perth Radio Taxis Limited, is also based in Perth. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply, construction project or general school service. The relevant classification is CPV 60120000, taxi services. The opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi firms and private-hire vehicle operators able to provide contracted school transport for children with additional support needs.

The procurement has reached the awarded stage: Perth & Kinross Council selected Perth Radio Taxis Limited. The award value is £24,502.40. The related contract is recorded as active. The requirement starts on Tuesday 18 August 2026, while the tender submission deadline was 7 January 2027. The procedure was a taxi/private-hire vehicle contract run through a quick-quote award route. Two bids were recorded. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for taxi services, and the award was made for the additional support needs school taxi contract. The published title identifies the wider PKC14200 Taxi/PHV Contracts BPH/095 arrangement. The award covers one stated service requirement and was made to one supplier, Perth Radio Taxis Limited.

For a supplier that did not win, this procurement is useful evidence that Perth & Kinross Council buys dedicated taxi and private-hire vehicle capacity for additional support needs school transport. A credible competitor would need to operate as a taxi or private-hire vehicle provider, serve Perth and the surrounding journey requirements, and organise reliable transport for school pupils under a council service contract. The requirement points to the importance of dependable day-to-day passenger transport rather than one-off journeys or general vehicle hire. Firms with an established local operating base, suitable vehicles and the capacity to deliver contracted school transport would be the closest comparators when this buyer next tests a similar requirement. The recorded competition also shows that at least two providers engaged with this type of work.
