Summary of the contracting process

Perth & Kinross Council procured passenger transport services using taxis and private hire vehicles. The requirement covers transport contracts operated by taxi and private hire vehicle providers, with services mainly in the Perth and Kinross Council area and potentially extending into neighbouring council areas. The procurement was made through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for this type of transport. This is relevant to taxi and private hire operators able to provide passenger transport for public-sector contracts across the local area and, where required, across council boundaries.

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded through an open procedure under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. Nine suppliers were selected: Lux Executive Travel Ltd, Jennifer Gilruth, Nadeem Javed, E.m taxi, Perth Radio Taxis Limited, D&J Taxis, Janis Ilmers, Muhammad Nazir, and GG Taxis Scotland Ltd trading as Perth Taxis. The contract value is £1,189,526.40. The contract was signed on 5 July 2026 and is recorded as active. The opportunity was reported as one of four tender exercises awarded between 1 July and 30 September 2026. The procurement was presented as a single lot. A total of 77 bids were recorded, all from SMEs and submitted electronically. The published award data does not state an evaluation basis.

This award demonstrates recurring public-sector demand from Perth & Kinross Council for taxi and private hire transport across its area and potentially neighbouring council areas. The requirement is suited to local operators able to provide passenger transport services and operate within the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. Nine suppliers were appointed from a competitive field of 77 bids, showing that the Council used a multi-supplier route rather than selecting a single operator. The supplier list includes small businesses and individual operators, so the requirement was accessible to providers at that scale. To be credible when comparable work returns to market, a competitor would need the operational capacity to deliver transport services across the specified area and to participate in an open, electronic procurement process through the Council’s purchasing system.
