The work is passenger transport, classified under CPV 60120000, and is intended to meet the Council’s transport requirements. Services are to be provided mainly in the Perth & Kinross Council area, with journeys potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. The procurement is a single-lot exercise and forms part of the Council’s wider use of taxi and private-hire operators for transport contracts. The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded. The procedure was open, with 77 bids recorded, all submitted electronically and all classified as bids from SMEs. Ten suppliers were selected: NADEEM JAVED, Perth Radio Taxis Limited, D&J Taxis, Ace Taxis Perth Ltd, k m taxis, Derek Bright, M.F. Ali, Kevin Kulik, Stephen MacLennan and Lux Executive Travel Ltd. The contract is active and was signed on 5 July 2026. Its recorded value is £1,189,526.40. The award formed one of four tender exercises reported for the period from 1 July to 30 September 2026. The procurement data gives no contract end date or specific evaluation criteria. This award demonstrates demand from Perth & Kinross Council for taxi and private-hire transport serving its own area and potentially neighbouring council areas. The selected supplier group includes ten operators, indicating that individual local firms as well as larger fleets can be part of delivery through this route. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi or private-hire transport and be able to serve journeys in and around Perth & Kinross, including trips crossing council boundaries. The recorded bids were all from SMEs, so the award shows that smaller suppliers have competed successfully for this requirement. The route is a dynamic purchasing system, making familiarity with its process relevant to suppliers seeking comparable Council transport work when this requirement returns to market. ## Notice Quarterly Report of awards made under Perth & Kinross Council's DPS for Transport Contracts operated by Taxis and Private Hire Vehicles.
