Summary of the contracting process

The University of Southampton has awarded a contract for the Provision of Taxi Services, primarily classified under the CPV code 60120000 for taxi services. This initiative is part of a framework agreement divided into two lots: Lot 1 focuses on local taxi services within Southampton and its surrounding areas, while Lot 2 caters to airport transfers, particularly to and from major airports such as Heathrow and Gatwick. The contract, valued at £1,500,000, commenced on 1st November 2019 and is set to conclude on 31st October 2023. The procurement method used was an open procedure, with the tender process having ended on 12th December 2018.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those providing taxi and airport transfer options. Companies, including small and medium enterprises (SMEs) as well as voluntary and community sector organisations (VCSEs), may find this contract appealing, especially if they have the capacity to cover the local needs of Southampton whilst also accommodating longer-distance transfers. Engaging in this contract not only allows for growth in local service provision but also enables businesses to establish a presence in a competitive sector with ongoing demand for reliable transport solutions.
