Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a passenger transport service for an Additional Support Needs school taxi contract. The requirement is to provide taxi or private-hire vehicle transport for pupils with additional support needs, supporting their journeys to and from school. The procurement is categorised as a service and classified under CPV 60120000, taxi services. The council is the buying organisation. The awarded supplier, Angela’s Taxis, is based in Blairgowrie. The published requirement identifies the service as a school taxi contract, rather than a general taxi service or wider transport framework. It is therefore most relevant to taxi operators and private-hire vehicle businesses able to provide dependable, regular school transport for pupils requiring additional support.

This procurement has been awarded. The contract was advertised under the title “Award of PKC14209 Taxi/PHV Contracts BBG/004” and concerns the requirement beginning on 2 September 2026. The tender period ran from 9 February 2026 to 7 January 2027. Angela’s Taxis was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £17,100 including the stated currency of GBP. The associated contract is recorded as active. Five bids were reported. The procurement was evaluated through the council’s taxi/private-hire vehicle contracting route, with the award covering the Additional Support Needs school taxi service. The award information identifies one supplier and one service requirement; it does not divide the opportunity into separately described lots.

For a supplier considering future requirements from Perth & Kinross Council, this award demonstrates demand for a defined, pupil-focused taxi service rather than ad hoc passenger journeys. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable taxis or private-hire vehicles, provide reliable scheduled school transport and meet the practical demands of carrying children with additional support needs. Consistent service delivery, dependable availability for school journeys and the ability to manage a contracted route would be important. The successful supplier was a local taxi business, indicating that an established operator serving the council’s area can compete for this type of work. Taxi and private-hire firms with relevant school transport experience, suitable vehicles and sufficient operational capacity would be best placed when a similar requirement returns.
