The procurement is divided into 13 geographical areas: Devon and Cornwall; Somerset and Dorset; Bristol and Gloucestershire; Wiltshire and Hampshire; Berkshire, Oxfordshire and Surrey; East and West Sussex; Kent; Essex; Hertfordshire and Bedfordshire; Central London; Greater London; South Wales; and North, Mid and West Wales. The main service category is taxi transport (CPV 60120000).

The process reached tender: the buyer invited suppliers to submit offers through a formal invitation to tender. The procurement method is described as “Other” and is not disclosed in further detail. The tender submission deadline set by the buyer is 7 September 2026 at 12:00 British Summer Time. The contract is scheduled to run from 1 December 2026 to 31 January 2029. Suppliers can propose for the geographical areas relevant to their operation, covering taxi journeys and, where required, coach transport. The evaluation will consider proposals against defined service standards covering compliance, safeguarding, safety and contract management, alongside the ability to provide geographic coverage, vehicle availability and booking capacity. The tender is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

This opportunity suits taxi operators, private-hire transport businesses, coach companies and transport groups able to provide coverage in one or more of the specified areas. It requires a safe, reliable and responsive service that can handle both planned bookings and short-notice requests, including single and return journeys. Suppliers should have enough vehicles and booking capacity to respond to fluctuating demand, with access to suitable cars, 16-seater vehicles and 49- to 53-seater coaches where group or longer-distance travel is needed. Strong operational controls will be important, including compliance, safeguarding, passenger safety and contract management. Businesses with broad local coverage, dependable availability and experience coordinating varied passenger movements are well placed to compete, including SMEs operating regionally or across multiple areas.
