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

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) procures subsidised local bus services across West Central Scotland. This award concerns bus service contracts arranged through SPT’s dynamic purchasing system, supporting the provision of local bus routes. The reported requirement is for bus services; route-level details and service specifications are published separately by SPT.

The procurement is complete and a supplier, recorded as “c/o SPT”, was selected for the reported lot. The contract is active and was signed on 25 September 2026. Its recorded value is £761,783. The reported service period is 1 July to 30 September 2026. SPT used a restricted procedure through its dynamic purchasing system. For local subsidised bus services, evaluation uses a 70% price and 30% quality split, with technical questions forming the quality element. The contract may be varied. The award concerns the quarterly reporting period and a single reported lot; the underlying route-by-route awards and allocations are not detailed here.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from SPT for operators able to deliver subsidised local bus services across West Central Scotland. Suppliers well placed to compete when the requirement returns will need the operational capacity to run local bus routes and the ability to provide convincing technical responses alongside competitive pricing. Quality matters, but price carries the greater weighting in SPT’s stated evaluation approach. The restricted procedure and dynamic purchasing system provide the route used for these local contracts, so familiarity with qualifying for and supplying through that arrangement is commercially relevant. The award is a substantial service package rather than a single item purchase, making credible route delivery capacity and cost control central to competing effectively.
