Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured education transport for sports conveyance, using public service vehicles such as buses and coaches (CPV 60112000). The service is to carry passengers mainly within the Perth & Kinross Council area, with journeys potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. This is a transport service requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles. The procurement formed part of the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for transport contracts operated by public service vehicles, and the award covered the Education Transport – Sports Conveyance exercise.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded through an open procedure under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. Ten suppliers were selected: Map Travel, J Docherty & Sons Ltd, Highland Travel, Smart Travel, WeGo Bus Limited, Smith and Sons Coaches, Kingdom Transport Coaches, Hamish Gordon Limited, Eazy Coach Hire and Elizabeth Yule Transport Ltd. The recorded contract value is £98,560. The contract was signed on 3 August 2026. The award notice describes this as one of three tender exercises awarded between 1 July and 30 September 2026. The requirement is presented as one lot. The available award information does not set out individual supplier values or a separate evaluation basis.

This award shows demand from Perth & Kinross Council for education-related sports transport delivered by public service vehicles, with service coverage centred on Perth and Kinross and potentially extending into neighbouring council areas. Ten transport operators were selected, and all 198 recorded bids were from small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that smaller operators participated in the competition. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work should be able to provide dependable passenger transport for sports-related education journeys and operate across the Council area, with the ability to serve journeys that cross local boundaries. The use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and an open procedure is relevant to operators considering this buyer’s route to market. The requirement is specifically sports conveyance, so general transport capacity alone may not establish a close fit without the ability to support this use.
