## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned transport services using taxis and private hire vehicles, under its Dynamic Purchasing System for taxi and private-hire transport contracts. The requirement covers transport contracts arranged through the Council’s system; the award notice does not describe passenger groups, journeys or individual service specifications. Services are mainly delivered within the Perth and Kinross Council area, with journeys potentially crossing into neighbouring council areas. This is a local transport-services opportunity for taxi and private-hire operators able to serve Council requirements across that area and beyond its boundaries where needed. The Council is the buyer. The work is classified as passenger transport by taxi (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and contracts have been awarded following an open procedure within the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. Five suppliers were selected: Perth Radio Taxis Limited, D&J Taxis, Margaret Jones, Sweeneys Garage and Jane McIntosh. The published contract value is £412,447.20. The contract was signed on 28 July 2026 and is recorded as active; the award notice gives no contract end date or duration. The process is reported as one of four tender exercises awarded during the quarter from 1 July to 30 September 2026, and relates to the July exercise. It was handled as a single lot. There were 45 bids, all recorded as SME and electronic bids. The award data does not state evaluation criteria or supplier-specific shares of the contract value.

This award shows that Perth & Kinross Council buys taxi and private-hire transport through a Dynamic Purchasing System, and that work can involve journeys beyond the Council area into neighbouring council areas. Five local suppliers were selected from 45 bids, indicating competition among a substantial field and an award shared across several operators. Suppliers seeking to compete for this buyer’s recurring requirement would need to provide taxi or private-hire transport and demonstrate the operational capacity to cover Council journeys across the area, including cross-boundary travel. Local presence may help with delivering this geographically focused work, as the selected suppliers are based in Perth or Crieff. The procurement data does not describe specific vehicle, driver, accreditation or experience requirements, so it cannot establish additional qualifications that competitors would need.
