This public procurement, under the industry category of Taxi Services, is located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The process followed an open procedure methodology as part of a mini competition under the LCC Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059. The tender concluded on 1st August 2025, and the contract period runs from 4th September 2025 to 31st July 2028. Two awards were granted: the first one on 18th September 2025, to Everest Taxis Ltd for £72,540, and an earlier award on 1st August 2025, to Johal Taxis for £57.10.
