The United Kingdom Research and Innovation (UKRI) has initiated a public procurement process for the "STFC Hire of Taxi and Passenger Transport Framework Agreement". This procurement, classified under taxi services (CPV code 60120000), is located in Swindon, UK, and is currently in the Tender stage. The submission deadline for tenders has been amended to 27 November 2019 at 13:00, with the contract commencing on 5 February 2020 and lasting until 4 February 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the transportation sector, particularly for companies that specialise in taxi and passenger transport services.

Notice Title

STFC Hire of Taxi and Passenger Transport Framework Agreement

Notice Description

Text to be corrected in the original notice: Place of text to be modified: Amendment of "Condition for opening of tenders" Instead of: 21 November 2019 Time: 14:00 Read New: 27 November 2019 Time: 14:00 Place of text to be modified: Amendment of the "Time limit for receipt of tenders or requests to participate" Instead of: 21 November 2019 Time: 14:00 Read New: 27 November 2019 Time: 13:00 Other additional information: Submission deadline date changed. UKRI (STFC) has a significant need for "bought in" taxi journeys for staff, users and visitors across all of its sites, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire (RAL), Daresbury, Cheshire (DL), Edinburgh (UKATC) and Swindon. Due to the high level of "User" visits to ISIS and CLF at the RAL Oxfordshire based site, that area has the highest volume requirement, approximately 5000 separate trips (although this number can vary widely depending, particularly, on the running days of the large facilities). Journeys range for local trips as low as 12miles up to longer trips, typically to airports, of 50 miles plus.
