Summary of the contracting process

Lincolnshire County Council is embarking on a planned procurement process for taxi services, titled "BPB000154 - Alternative Provision South - Taxi," aimed at providing alternative provision contracts in Lincolnshire. This procurement falls within the transportation industry, specifically under the category of taxi services, non-scheduled passenger transport, and public road transport services. The contract is set to commence on 4th September 2025 and conclude by 31st July 2026. Key dates include a future notice date on 1st March 2026. The procurement is currently in the planning stage with a budget allocated for the 2025/2026 period amounting to £146,691.

This tender presents a valuable business opportunity, particularly for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), due to the nature of the services required and the potential for contract value reaching up to £30,210. Businesses engaged in taxi services, hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, and special-purpose road transport services are well-suited to compete. With services needed across England, this procurement is ideal for local enterprises seeking to expand their footprint in the public sector transport domain.
