Summary of the contracting process

The Department for International Trade has completed a procurement process for a Ministerial Taxi Service, aimed at providing taxis and passenger attendants for high-profile officials. The service, classified under taxi services (CPV code: 60120000), is valued at £48,000 and operates under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period began on 10th October 2019 and will end on 9th October 2021, with the procurement stage being awarded as of 8th October 2019. The service is required in London to accommodate the flexible travel needs of the Secretary of State and other ministers within the department.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in taxi and chauffeur services. Providers that can demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in their service provision would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The emphasis on a high-quality service delivery for government officials presents a potential growth avenue for both small and medium-sized enterprises, which can meet the rigorous standards expected by public sector clients.
