This tender is classified under the services category and was officially initiated on 3 April 2017, with the tender submission deadline set for 22 February 2017 at 2:00 PM. The contract will cover the service requirements for a 12-month period, with the potential for a further 12-month extension. The contract value requires suppliers to have appropriate transport and insurance capabilities, underlining the tender's operational and legal prerequisites. This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport and shuttle services, particularly those experienced with public sector contracts. Companies that can ensure reliable service delivery, possess the necessary fleet, and meet the insurance requirements will be well-positioned to compete. Additionally, businesses that are adept at navigating the public procurement processes and can respond promptly to tender submissions will enhance their chances for successful bids, thereby fostering business growth in the sector. ## Notice HES requires the provision of shuttle bus service from Stenness Visitor Centre, Orkney to Tormiston Mill, Stenness, Orkney and back on a daily basis, with the exceptions of 25-26th December 2017 and 1-2 January 2018 (and future years if contract extended). ### Lot Information Lot 1 HES requires the provision of shuttle bus service from Stenness Visitor Centre, Orkney to Tormiston Mill, Stenness, Orkney and back on a daily basis, with the exceptions of 25-26th December 2017 and 1-2 January 2018 (and future years if contract extended). HES considers it uneconomic and operationally unviable to split this requirement into multiple lots. Renewal: The contract period is 12 months with the option to extend for up to a further 12 months. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=APR279130 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 3 Apr 2017 | | Submission deadline | 22 Feb 2017 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 30 Mar 2017 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | £100,000 | | Lots value | £100,000 | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | HISTORIC ENVIRONMENT SCOTLAND | | Locality | EDINBURGH | | Post town | Edinburgh | | Postcode | EH9 1SH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM1 East Central Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM13 City of Edinburgh | | Local authority | City of Edinburgh | | Electoral ward | Southside/Newington | | Westminster constituency | Edinburgh South | | Delivery location | TLM65 Orkney Islands | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
