## Summary

The Scottish Borders Council has completed the procurement process for the "Berwickshire Demand Responsive Transport (DRT) Pilot Scheme." The project involves the delivery of a pilot scheme for demand-responsive transport using taxi bus routes in remote rural areas not covered by fixed route buses. The Council, based in Newtown St Boswells, UK, chose Teviot Taxi as the supplier for this service. The procurement method used was a limited procedure with an award made without prior publication of a call for competition. The contract, valued at £136,000, was signed on May 17, 2024, with key dates and locations centred around the Berwickshire area.

This tender for the DRT Pilot Scheme in Berwickshire presents a growth opportunity for transport service providers, particularly those experienced in demand-responsive transport solutions.
