Summary of the contracting process

Birmingham City Council is currently conducting an early market engagement event titled "Early Market Engagement Event for Hackney Carriage Rental Scheme." This initiative, aimed at establishing a taxi rental scheme for local hackney carriage drivers to rent Ultra Low Emission Vehicles (ULEVs), is classified under the motor vehicle industry category. The engagement period runs from 9th October to 23rd October 2020, with virtual consultation meetings scheduled from 12th to 30th October 2020.

By engaging in this early market exercise, businesses can influence the development of the upcoming procurement strategy, enhancing their competitive edge for the forthcoming five-year contract expected to commence in 2021.
