OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) buys school and vocational transport services through its dynamic purchasing system. The reported awards cover contracts from the system, but the procurement data does not identify specific routes, passenger groups, vehicle types or individual service specifications. The recorded service classification is non-scheduled passenger transport, which can include transport arranged for school and vocational journeys. The contracting organisation is SPT, a public transport body based in Glasgow. Delivery is associated with Scotland, but no particular town, route or operating area is identified. The requirement is relevant to passenger transport operators able to provide school and vocational journeys under SPT’s purchasing arrangements; firms whose work is limited to unrelated transport or general services are less closely aligned.

This procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded. SPT selected SPT as supplier. The recorded contract value is £2,030,297, and the contract is active; it was signed on 7 August 2026. No contract start or end date is provided, so the duration cannot be established from the recorded terms. The awards relate to contracts from SPT’s School and Vocational Services dynamic purchasing system during the period 1 July to 30 September 2026. The route was a restricted procedure within that system. The stated evaluation split was 90% price and 10% quality, with quality focused on contingency planning for unforeseen emergencies. The award information is associated with one lot covering the quarterly group of awards; individual awarded contracts and their values are not broken out here.

The award shows recurring demand from SPT for school and vocational passenger transport through a dynamic purchasing system, with price carrying most weight in the evaluation and emergency contingency planning the stated quality consideration. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver school and vocational journeys, alongside practical plans to maintain services when unforeseen disruption occurs. Cost control is commercially important, but the quality score indicates that resilience planning also matters. Transport operators already equipped to organise dependable passenger services and explain how they would handle emergencies are better aligned than suppliers without relevant transport operations. The award went to SPT itself, so this outcome also shows the buyer can meet this requirement through an internal or affiliated supplier.
