Summary of the contracting process

Hull City Council, based in The Guildhall, Alfred Gelder Street, Hull, has recently completed a procurement process related to the "Taxi & Small Bus Service" contract, classified under the CPV code 60120000 for taxi services. This selective procurement, using a restricted procedure, was aimed at appointing multiple contractors to provide transportation services for pupils and passenger assistants to various schools and colleges on a daily basis. The tender, which saw the contract being awarded on 15th May 2025, encompasses a contract period starting from 2nd June 2025 to 1st June 2027. The service will be provided across various locations including the United Kingdom and potentially further afield. The total contract value amounts to GBP 900,486, with an emphasis on fair pricing, indicated by a 100% price weighting in the evaluation criteria.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses, particularly those in the taxi service industry, with a keen focus on large-scale operations. It is well-suited for companies that can accommodate a fleet of various-sized vehicles to deliver consistent service quality, as evidenced by the awarding to firms such as 966 Cars LTD, Harriden, and Hull Travel Services LTD, among others. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) could benefit from forming consortia or partnerships to meet the tender's requirements, thereby enhancing competitiveness and expanding their service portfolios. The contract's provision for potential extensions also provides an opportunity for long-term business growth and stability.
