The requirement is a taxi or private-hire vehicle service operating on school days, providing transport associated with the academy. This is a service procurement in the taxi services category (CPV 60120000). Delivery is centred on Breadalbane Academy and the surrounding area served by the school; the awarded supplier is based in Pitlochry. The buyer is Perth & Kinross Council, whose Public Transport Unit manages the requirement. The service is specifically for additional support needs education transport rather than general taxi provision, so relevant operators are those able to provide dependable school transport for pupils requiring additional support. This procurement has been awarded to Atholl Carriers, with the contract recorded as active. The contract was signed on 9 March 2026, and the award value is £28,952. The service is due to start on 7 September 2026 and operates on school days only. The tender period is recorded as running from 9 July 2026 to 7 January 2027. The process was run as a Quick Quote award for a taxi/private-hire vehicle service. One bid was recorded. The available outcome data identifies a single supplier and a single requirement, rather than separate lots or multiple awards. The published procurement information does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or detailed eligibility conditions. For a supplier assessing future demand from Perth & Kinross Council, this award shows a defined requirement for school-day taxi or private-hire transport supporting additional-needs pupils at Breadalbane Academy. A credible competitor would need suitable passenger transport capability, reliable vehicles and drivers, and the operational capacity to provide consistent journeys throughout the school timetable. Local knowledge of the Pitlochry and Breadalbane area would be commercially useful, as would the ability to coordinate closely with the school and the Council’s public transport service. The single-bid outcome indicates a small, focused opportunity where a specialist local operator can compete without the scale of a large transport network. Businesses with experience in education transport and dependable day-to-day school operations are best placed for a similar requirement. ## Notice Additional Support Needs Contract to Breadalbane Academy from Monday, 7 September 2026.
