Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured a taxi service for health and social care journeys. The requirement is for passenger transport supporting health and social care, rather than general taxi provision. The award description identifies a single taxi contract; it does not set out routes, passenger numbers, vehicle specifications or a more detailed service scope. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, and the council is based in Perth. The service is associated with the council’s health and social care needs; no specific delivery locations are stated. The procurement is categorised as a service and concerns taxi services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is recorded as active. Kevin Kulik was selected as the supplier. The recorded award value is £1,848. The contract description states that the service starts on 23 October 2026; no end date or overall duration is provided. The notice is titled as an award of taxi/PHV contracts, but the data records one supplier and one award, with no lots described. The process was a quick quote, and one bid was recorded. No evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the supplied procurement information. The award data does not include an award date, so the date of the award decision cannot be stated.

This award shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys taxi transport for health and social care purposes, with the requirement fulfilled by an individual taxi supplier. A credible competitor for a comparable future requirement would need to provide taxi or private-hire passenger transport suited to health and social care journeys and be able to meet the council’s service needs. The contract is small in recorded value and limited in the stated scope, making it more relevant to an individual operator or a small local transport business than to suppliers seeking a large, multi-route operation. The process used a quick quote and attracted one bid, indicating a relatively direct, low-bid-count route for this purchase. No particular vehicle standards, passenger-assistance qualifications or other specialist credentials are evidenced here.
