## Summary

Perth & Kinross Council commissioned taxi and private-hire vehicle transport for Perth College. The service is intended to carry passengers under transport contracts, with delivery mainly in the Perth and Kinross Council area and potentially into neighbouring council areas. This is local passenger transport work delivered by vehicle operators rather than a purchase of vehicles. The Council is the buyer, and the requirement formed part of its dynamic purchasing system for transport contracts operated by taxis and private-hire vehicles. The procurement relates to one tender exercise for Perth College, within a quarterly set of exercises. Its service category is taxi and private-hire transport (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open procedure under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system. GG taxis Scotland Ltd trading as Perth Taxis and Craigie Cabs were selected for the single lot. The resulting active contract is valued at £22,030.60; it was signed on 24 August 2026. The award was made within the reporting period from 1 July to 30 September 2026, and the requirement was identified as the July 2026 Perth College exercise. The data reports 31 bids for the lot, all from small and medium-sized enterprises, and that all bids were submitted electronically. No individual award date, contract start or end date, assessment criteria, or detailed eligibility requirements are stated in the available process information.

This award shows demand from Perth & Kinross Council for taxi and private-hire operators able to deliver passenger transport for Perth College, mainly within the Council area and potentially across neighbouring council boundaries. Credible competitors will need suitable vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to provide reliable local transport, with the ability to cover journeys beyond the Council boundary when required. The award to two local small businesses and the participation of 31 SME bidders indicate that the requirement can attract smaller operators, although competition was substantial. The work was procured through the Council’s dynamic purchasing system, so suppliers seeking similar Council transport work should be equipped to participate in that route and submit bids electronically. The award demonstrates a defined, local transport requirement rather than a broad contract for unrelated transport services.
