## Summary

The Highland Council has awarded contracts through the "School and Public Transport Negotiated Procedure 2016" to provide various Home to School Transport routes across the Highland & Islands region. The procurement process is now complete, with the contract period running from 24 April 2017 until 31 December 2021, including an option for a 12-month extension. The procurement method used was a limited procedure, and the awards were driven by previous procurements that either received no bids or only non-compliant bids.

This tender presents significant opportunities for transport service providers and businesses specialising in public transport logistics. Companies with experience in managing school transport, particularly in remote or rural areas, will find the most potential here. The awarded routes comprise diverse schools, indicating a robust demand for tailored transport solutions over the coming years, offering a chance for growth and increased service offerings in the public sector transport industry.
