Summary of the contracting process

The Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently seeking tenders for Taxi Services through an open procurement process. This tender, titled "Taxi Services," is aimed at delivering transportation for healthcare professionals, patients, and light goods on an as-needed basis, primarily within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 17th October 2019, with the contract expected to start on 9th December 2019 and last for a duration of two years, ending on 8th December 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £223,000.

Additionally, firms that can demonstrate reliability and a commitment to providing round-the-clock service could find this tender aligned with their capabilities and growth objectives.
