## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council procured additional support needs transport for pupils travelling to Murthly Primary School. The service is a taxi or private-hire vehicle operation, classified under taxi services (CPV 60120000), and is intended to run on school days. The delivery location is Murthly Primary School, serving the council’s education transport requirement. The procurement was managed by Perth & Kinross Council, with the Scottish Government also listed as a buyer within the process. The selected supplier is Ace Taxis Perth Ltd, based in Perth. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi and private-hire operators able to provide reliable school transport for children with additional support needs, rather than to general vehicle supply or unrelated passenger transport services.

This procurement has been awarded. Ace Taxis Perth Ltd was selected for one award valued at £22,984. The contract is active and begins on 16 September 2026, with service operating on school days for transport to Murthly Primary School. The award followed a quick-quote tender process, and one bid was recorded. The tender description gives a submission deadline of 7 January 2027, although the process has since reached award. The evaluation basis and any lot structure are not set out in the procurement data. The requirement is a service contract rather than a goods or works purchase, and the award was made to a single supplier. The awarded value should be treated as the value of this award only, not combined with any other procurement.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local market for specialist school transport in Perth and Kinross. Credible competitors would need to operate taxis or private-hire vehicles and be capable of delivering dependable journeys for pupils with additional support needs. The service model requires school-day availability and the ability to maintain regular transport to a named primary school, so operators should have suitable vehicles, trained and dependable drivers, and the operational capacity to provide consistent scheduled journeys. Local knowledge of Perth and the surrounding area would support reliable delivery. The award also shows that the council used a quick-quote route for this type of requirement and selected a single operator, making responsiveness and the ability to provide a complete service important when a similar requirement returns.
