Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, initiated by Lincolnshire County Council, culminated in the award stage with the project titled "BPB000174 - North - PSV." The contract falls under the industry category of "Taxi services" and encompasses various transport services in the East Midlands region, United Kingdom. The procurement process followed a selective method known as a "Restricted procedure (above threshold)." Key dates include the tender period's end on 5 November 2025 and the award date on 10 November 2025, with the contract period commencing on 6 January 2026 and concluding on 31 December 2030.

These contracts offer significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those specialising in taxi and passenger transport services. Companies like Black Cat Travel Ltd, G Cars Lincs Ltd, Marks Transport Group, and PC Coaches of Lincoln Ltd have secured contracts, demonstrating that SMEs with strong capabilities in road transport services and an interest in expanding their client base within the public sector stand to benefit greatly. This project aligns well with SMEs capable of fulfilling non-scheduled passenger transport requirements and who are keen to engage with public procurement processes.
