The process, set in the South East of the United Kingdom, has advanced to the award stage. The total contract value is £41,495.40, with the contract running from 1st September 2025 to 31st July 2027. This selective procurement was conducted through a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system, with APOLLO TAXIS LTD as the awarded supplier.

This tender represents substantial business growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in taxi services.
