## Summary

Stirling Council is engaged in a procurement process titled "DPS for School and Other Transport," aimed at securing service contracts for transport related to the education and social care needs of children and vulnerable adults, as well as other transport requirements within the Stirling area and beyond. The procurement method is an open procedure, currently in the award stage, with the total contract value set at £6,207,000. The awards include contracts for transport by public service vehicle and by taxi or private hire car, signed on 1st October 2020. The procurement process originated from a tender initiated on 20th April 2020 and the bid opening was held on 25th May 2020.

This tender presents valuable opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, particularly those that specialise in public service vehicles, taxis, and private hire services. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), as well as larger transport providers, would be well-suited to compete, especially those with experience in delivering services to local authorities or similar organisations. Given the broad scope of transport requirements, this contract could support sustained business growth for companies able to meet the specific needs outlined by Stirling Council.
