Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured transport services operated by public service vehicles, classified under CPV 60112000. The requirement sits within the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for public-service-vehicle transport contracts and is described as a quarterly award exercise. Services are to be delivered mainly in the Perth & Kinross Council area, with journeys potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. The procurement is therefore relevant to operators able to provide vehicle-based passenger transport across this local area and, where required, beyond its boundaries. The Council is the buyer and the services are categorised as transport services rather than goods or construction work.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to map travel. The award is associated with one lot and resulted from an open procedure under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract value is £38,022.71. The contract was signed on 1 July 2026 and is recorded as active; no separate contract end date or award date is published in the structured data. The reported award exercise formed part of the quarterly period from 1 July to 30 September 2026. Seven bids were received for the lot, all from SMEs and all submitted electronically. The available award information does not state the evaluation criteria or the contract’s duration, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be described more specifically.

This award shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys local passenger transport through a Dynamic Purchasing System, using an open procedure for the competition. A credible future competitor would need to operate public-service-vehicle transport capable of meeting journeys mainly within Perth & Kinross and potentially across neighbouring council boundaries. The presence of seven bids, all from SMEs, indicates that smaller transport businesses have competed for this requirement; it does not establish any particular vehicle specification, fleet size or qualification threshold. Suppliers with the operational capacity to deliver the required routes and the ability to take part in an electronic competition through the Council’s purchasing system are the closest fit. The award is evidence of demand for this specific council-area transport service, rather than a general opportunity across unrelated transport markets.
