## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council procured an additional support needs school taxi contract. The service is specialist passenger transport for pupils who require additional support to travel to and from school, using taxis or private hire vehicles. The relevant business category is taxi services (CPV 60120000). The procurement was for the council’s school transport requirement, with the awarded service supplied by Perth Radio Taxis Limited. The organisations involved are based in Perth, including the council and the selected taxi operator. This opportunity therefore concerns a local authority requirement for taxi or private hire provision supporting school journeys, rather than vehicle supply, general fleet management or unrelated passenger transport services.

This procurement has been awarded following a quick quote process. Three bids were recorded. Perth Radio Taxis Limited was awarded the contract at £18,240. The contract concerns the additional support needs school taxi service and was scheduled to start on 18 August 2026. The tender submission deadline was 7 January 2027, and the contract was signed on 8 October 2026. The contract is recorded as active. The evaluation outcome selected one supplier; the source data does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award criterion. The award is reported as a single contract, with no separate lot awards identified. The contracting authority is Perth & Kinross Council.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for dedicated taxi or private hire transport for pupils with additional support needs. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide reliable school transport operations, suitable taxi or private hire vehicles, and the capacity to deliver planned journeys for children who may need additional assistance. Local operating capability in Perth and the surrounding Perth & Kinross area would be relevant, as would experience of working to a council’s school transport arrangements and maintaining dependable day-to-day service. Taxi operators able to organise drivers, vehicles and scheduling around school journeys are the closest fit for this requirement.
