The location for this service is noted as South East, United Kingdom, specifically targeting the postal code PO19 1RQ. The procurement process applied was selective, utilising a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. The contract, valued at £25,011.60, is scheduled to run from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2026. The award was published on 2nd October 2025, following the tender period which ended on 18th August 2025. The procurement stage is complete, with the award given to ACE TAXIS.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the taxi services sector, particularly those capable of fulfilling regional transport needs. Given that the procurement method was a selective call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, businesses that are already part of such systems may find entering into similar contracts more accessible. Small and medium-sized enterprises, although this contract specifically did not prioritise them, could still find opportunities to collaborate or partner with larger firms to participate in future tenders. The consistent demand for localised transport services underlines the potential for ongoing business growth in this sector.
