Summary of the contracting process

Sunderland City Council is currently initiating a tender process for an "Ad-hoc Taxi Services Framework," which aims to establish a ranked framework based on the discounts offered against set tariff rates. The procurement process is classified under the "Transport services (excl. Waste transport)" industry category, with bids open until 20th May 2022. The anticipated contract period begins on 1st August 2022 and extends through to 31st July 2026. Businesses are invited to submit proposals for multiple lots that include Standard Ad-hoc Journeys, Short Term Ad-Hoc Routed Journeys, and Wheelchair Accessible Routed Journeys, with a preference for the highest discount rates determining allocation.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transportation services. With the open procurement method allowing for broader participation, businesses that can provide various taxi services—especially those emphasising competitive pricing and accessibility—are likely to find avenues for engagement. The structured framework also offers the advantage of multiple bidding opportunities across distinct service lots, encouraging a diverse range of operators to participate and potentially establish long-term contracts with the council.
