## Summary

The Fife Council, based in Glenrothes, has established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for the provision of transport services, specifically for the transportation of children and young people to educational institutions. The current tender process, related to this DPS, operates under a selective procurement method with contracts awarded on a rolling basis. Key dates include the ongoing mini-competitions primarily held from May to July each year, with the most recent contract awarded on 25th May 2020, amounting to £3,470,000. The main industry category for this procurement is public road transport services.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) within the transport sector, particularly those specialising in taxi and minibus services. Businesses that are well-suited to compete for these contracts include local taxi operators and transportation service providers capable of meeting the quality criteria set by Fife Council, as well as those familiar with the requirements for transporting children safely. The active nature of competition, evidenced by 203 bids in the last cycle, indicates a robust marketplace for participants to engage with the council's transport needs.
