## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council has completed a tender process for the provision of education transport services in the Carse of Gowrie area. The procurement, classified under services and using an open procedure, was initiated due to unforeseen circumstances affecting the existing transport operator. The awarded contracts, which total £51,350, will remain in effect until 29 March 2019, after which replacement contracts will be tendered through the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System for Transport Contracts operated by Public Service Vehicles. The address for the buyer is 2 High Street, Perth, UKM77, PH1 5PH.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transportation services, particularly those experienced with public service vehicles. Potential suppliers should consider participating in future procurement under the Council's established Dynamic Purchasing System as replacement contracts become available. Businesses such as local taxi services and transport providers, particularly those with knowledge of the region's schools and related logistics, would be well-suited to compete for these contracts.

These are awarded on an interim basis until 29 March 2019.
