## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council procured public service vehicle transport services through its transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The work concerns passenger transport operated by public service vehicles; the award covers one exercise within the Council’s quarterly transport-contract award reporting. Services are to be delivered mainly in the Perth and Kinross Council area, with routes potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. This is a transport-services requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles. The Council is the buyer and the procurement is categorised as services. The published information identifies one lot for the exercise, but does not describe its individual routes, passenger groups or service specifications.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to j docherty & sons ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 30 August 2026, at a value of £719,770.67. The award forms part of the July 2026 tender exercise and was made under the Council’s transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The route to market was an open procedure. One lot is reported, and the award relates to that lot. The Council stated that contracts could be extended beyond their original term if this was set out in the tender documents. No contract start date, end date or duration is recorded in this release. The reported bid statistics show 40 bids for the lot, all recorded as SME bids and electronic bids. Award criteria and eligibility requirements are not described here.

This award demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for passenger transport delivered by public service vehicles, including services operating mainly within the Council area and potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need the vehicles, operational capacity and transport-service capability to deliver the specified routes reliably across that geography. The exercise attracted 40 recorded bids, all classified as SME bids, indicating that smaller suppliers participated in this competition; the selected supplier is also identified as an SME. That provides evidence that the requirement was competed for by businesses at SME scale, although the service specifications and minimum capacity needed to perform the contract are not set out here. Experience running public service vehicle transport would be directly relevant to this buyer’s requirement.
