The requirement is for transporting pupils with additional support needs, beginning on Tuesday 18 August 2026. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The buying organisation is Perth & Kinross Council, and the named suppliers and the contract addresses are in Perth. The procurement is therefore relevant to taxi and private-hire vehicle operators able to provide school transport services in the Perth and Kinross area. The classification is CPV 60120000, covering taxi services. The requirement is specific to additional support needs school journeys, so operators without suitable vehicles, drivers or experience in this type of passenger transport may find it less relevant. The procurement has been awarded. D&J Taxis was selected for the contract at a value of £24,700. The contract is recorded as active and was signed on 8 October 2026. The requirement was advertised as a quick quote award, and two bids were recorded. The tender closing date was 7 January 2027. The published description gives the service start date as Tuesday 18 August 2026. The available outcome records one award and one supplier; Perth Radio Taxis Limited is also identified as a supplier party, but is not named as the awarded supplier. The procurement is for services and concerns a single Additional Support Needs School Taxi Contract, rather than several separately described lots. The award record does not state an evaluation weighting or a separate contract end date. For a taxi or private-hire operator, this procurement shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys dedicated school transport for pupils with additional support needs through a quick quote route. A credible future supplier would need to operate legally compliant taxi or private-hire vehicles, provide dependable scheduled journeys, and demonstrate the capacity to cover school transport commitments in the Perth area. The requirement also points to the importance of suitable arrangements for passengers with additional support needs, including appropriately trained and reliable drivers and safe vehicle operations. Businesses competing when this requirement returns would benefit from experience of council-funded school transport, the ability to manage regular pupil journeys, and sufficient local availability to provide continuity of service. The two recorded bids indicate competition from established local operators. ## Notice Additional Support Needs School Taxi Contract from Tuesday 18 August 2026 ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Public Contracts Scotland | | Latest notice | https://www.publiccontractsscotland.gov.uk/search/show/search_view.aspx?ID=AUG563354 | | Notice type | PCS Notice - Quick Quote Award | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Not Specified | | Procurement method details | Not specified | | Tender suitability | Not specified | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Award | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 28 Aug 2026 | | Submission deadline | Not specified | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | Not specified | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | £24,700 | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Not specified | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Active | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | Perth & Kinross Council | | Additional buyers | Argyll and Bute Council; East Lothian Council; Scottish Government | | Locality | PERTH | | Postcode area | Perth | | Postcode | PH1 5PH | | Country | Scotland | | ITL 1 | TLM Scotland | | ITL 2 | TLM0 Eastern Scotland | | ITL 3 | TLM02 Perth and Kinross, and Stirling | | Local authority | Perth and Kinross | | Electoral ward | Perth City Centre | | Westminster constituency | Perth and Kinross-shire | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## Supplier | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Number of suppliers | 10 | | Supplier names | D&J Taxis; GR Taxis; rreidminibus; Premier taxis; ac's taxis; Lorien Resourcing Ltd; Mott MacDonald; WSP UK Limited; Ramboll UK Limited; Perth Radio Taxis Limited | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 60 - Transport services (excl.
