This initiative focuses on acquiring services in the transport sector, specifically tailored to meet the travel needs for education and social care, involving both passenger vehicles and taxi/private hire cars. Based in Alloa, within the region UKM72, this tender is managed through an open procedure under the main category of services. The process commenced at the planning stage and is now in the award phase, with a contract value of GBP 20,663,696.06, dated and signed on 13th May 2026. The tender offers an open-ended Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS), allowing new suppliers to join at any time, which positions it to continuously accommodate evolving service demands. For enterprises seeking growth, particularly small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), this tender represents a significant opportunity, especially for those capable of providing compliant transport services within the specified parameters. The procurement method encourages fair competition and transparency, with a significant portion of the award criteria focused on price (90%) and quality (10%). Companies specialising in public service vehicles (PSVs) and taxi/private hire services within the UK, and particularly those adept in handling transport for education or social care sectors, are ideally suited to participate. This engagement not only promises substantial financial returns but also positions successful bidders as vital contributors to community welfare through reliable and efficient transport solutions. ## Notice Establish a DPS (Dynamic Purchasing system) for the provision of school, social care and other transport by PSV (9 or more passenger seats) and or Taxi/Private Hire Car (PHC)- 8 or less passenger seats. This is to meet the education and social care needs of children and vulnerable adults as well as other passenger or goods transport requirements. ### Lot Information PSV - 9 or more passenger seats PSV - 9 or more passenger seats Taxi Private hire 8 or less passenger seats Taxi Private hire 8 or less passenger seats ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=MAY555741 | | Notice type | OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice | | Procurement type | Dynamic, Framework | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | SME | | All stages | Tender, Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 13 May 2026 | | Submission deadline | 30 Jul 2027 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | 13 May 2026 | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | £20,663,696 | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Complete | | Lots status | Active, Complete | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | CLACKMANNANSHIRE COUNCIL | | Locality | ALLOA | | Post town | Falkirk and Stirling | | Postcode | FK10 1EB | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM01 Clackmannanshire and Fife | | Local authority | Clackmannanshire | | Electoral ward | Clackmannanshire South | | Westminster constituency | Alloa and Grangemouth | | Delivery location | TLM72 Clackmannanshire and Fife | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 1 | | Supplier names | STIRLING ALBA CABSLIMTED | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
