Summary of the contracting process

Hartlepool College of Further Education is procuring taxi transport services for its learners. The service is primarily intended for learners with Education, Health and Care Plans, learners with severe disabilities, and learners living in remote areas without direct public transport links. It will support the college’s wider inclusion and student support arrangements through flexible and responsive transport. The service is classified as taxi services and is a service contract. Delivery is centred on Hartlepool, with the college located on Stockton Street, TS24 7NT, and the stated delivery coverage including the United Kingdom. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to support college learners with varied mobility and travel needs.

The procurement reached tender: Hartlepool College invited suppliers to submit offers through an open procedure. The tender closing deadline set by the buyer is 12 August 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2029. Its estimated value is £200,000. Suppliers can submit through the MultiQuote supplier portal, using opportunity reference CA18238; registration is required for suppliers without an account. The requirement is presented as a single taxi transport service rather than separate lots. The published procurement information identifies the service category and open procedure, while the tender information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award formula.

This opportunity suits established taxi firms, accessible transport providers and other small and medium-sized businesses with the operational capacity to provide reliable learner transport. Relevant suppliers will need to organise flexible journeys for learners with Education, Health and Care Plans and severe disabilities, as well as learners travelling from remote areas without direct public transport. The work is likely to favour providers able to respond to changing learner needs, coordinate journeys consistently and maintain dependable day-to-day service across the required coverage. Businesses with experience in assisted passenger transport, education transport or other sensitive passenger services should find the requirement particularly relevant. It may also suit providers able to combine local Hartlepool knowledge with wider transport coverage.
