Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a community care taxi transport service to Oatridge College in Ecclesmachan. The service is for travel to the college on Tuesdays during term time. The work is passenger transport for people receiving community care, rather than a general taxi service. Perth & Kinross Council is the buying organisation, and the named destination is Oatridge College; the source does not describe any additional stops or routes. The requirement is suited to taxi or private hire operators able to provide reliable, scheduled transport for community care passengers on a recurring weekday journey. The procurement is categorised as taxi services.

The procurement has been awarded. Perth Radio Taxis Limited was selected, and one bid was recorded. The award date and contract period are not stated. The description says the service was to start on Tuesday 20 October 2026 and operate on Tuesdays during college term; the tender submission deadline was 7 January 2027. The awarded value is £4,799.52. The procurement method and evaluation criteria are not stated in the available process details, so the award basis cannot be identified. The award is linked to an active contract. This outcome records a council purchase of a defined, term-time taxi transport service to Oatridge College, rather than a wider transport framework or multiple separately awarded routes.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private hire services and reliably cover the scheduled Tuesday journey to Oatridge College during college terms. The contract demonstrates demand for a small, clearly defined community care transport service, so operators suited to recurring, route-specific work may be better matched than providers focused only on large, multi-route transport contracts. The recorded award went to a local Perth taxi company, indicating that a provider able to serve the council’s local area was successful. The requirement concerns transporting community care passengers; relevant operational capability would therefore include dependable journey delivery for this passenger group. The process records only one bid, but does not describe the winner’s fleet, staffing, passenger-care arrangements or qualifications, so those cannot be treated as established award requirements.
