The tender is set to remain open until 30 July 2027, with applications accepted throughout this period. The project aims to procure various transport-related service contracts, including subsidised local bus services and community care transport, with an estimated value of £80 million. This open procedure tender is being managed through PCS-Tender. This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those holding a Public Service Vehicle Operator’s Licence. Companies that can demonstrate strong economic and financial standing, alongside relevant operational experience, will be well-positioned to compete. The dynamic nature of the DPS allows operators to join at any time, aligning with the Council's intent to provide quality transport services efficiently. Additionally, businesses anticipating significant contract awards have the potential to offer community benefits, enhancing their appeal in the tender process. ## Notice Perth & Kinross Council are seeking to invite passenger vehicle Operators to participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) which will be used to procure transport related 'service contracts' operated by Public Service Vehicles (PSV) including but not limited to subsidised local bus services, home to school transport, sports conveyance transport and Community Care transport.
