These services include the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, particularly focusing on the needs related to schools, vocational, and additional support requirements across multiple regions including Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, and several others. The total estimated value of the tender is GBP 900,000,000. The procurement process, classed under services with the CPV code 60170000, follows a restricted procedure and will conclude its tender period on 1st July 2026. Contracts are expected to be discussed from 1st October 2026 for a term lasting approximately 5,400 days without options for renewal. This procurement presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in providing passenger transport services. Companies skilled in logistical management and possessing a considerable fleet of vehicles suitable for such large-scale operations would find this tender particularly lucrative. The DPS framework allows businesses to engage with local councils, promoting community benefits through service delivery. Given the technical emphasis on vehicle compliance and quality standards balanced with competitive pricing, companies with a robust operational and quality assurance framework could be well-positioned to capitalise on this opportunity to expand their reach within the UK transport sector. ## Notice SPT as a contracting authority is purchasing transport related service contracts including but not limited to schools, vocational and additional support needs (ASN) requirements on behalf of the following contracting authorities and their arm's length organisations: Glasgow, North Lanarkshire, South Lanarkshire, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, East Renfrewshire, Renfrewshire, East Ayrshire, North Ayrshire, South Ayrshire, Argyll & Bute and Inverclyde.
