## Summary

Strathclyde Partnership for Transport (SPT) procures local subsidised bus services in West Central Scotland. This contract concerns non-scheduled passenger transport: operating local bus routes supported by subsidy. SPT is the buyer and manages a Dynamic Purchasing System for these services, with contract awards reported quarterly. The requirement is relevant to bus operators able to deliver local passenger services in the area. The procurement relates to SPT’s local subsidised bus service programme rather than general transport services.

The procurement has been awarded and the contract is active. SPT used a restricted procedure through its Dynamic Purchasing System. The reported contract period covered 1 July to 30 September 2026. The contract was signed on 25 September 2026 and is valued at £761,783. The award names “c/o SPT” as supplier. SPT’s stated evaluation split for local subsidised bus services is 70% price and 30% quality, with technical questions identified as the quality element. The records associate the award with a lot marked cancelled, while the award and contract are shown as active.

For bus operators, the award demonstrates SPT’s continuing use of subsidised local services and its Dynamic Purchasing System to procure them. A credible competitor would need to operate passenger bus services in West Central Scotland and respond effectively to technical questions as well as offer competitive pricing: quality accounts for 30% of the stated evaluation and price for 70%. The short quarterly service period indicates a requirement organised around local contracts, rather than a single long-term network-wide service. Operators with capacity to deliver the specified local services under contracts subject to variation are the closest fit. The award provides evidence of the buyer, service type and evaluation balance to consider when assessing comparable future requirements from SPT.
