The contract pertains to taxi services, classified under the CPV scheme, and targets a wide geographical scope including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. This award process followed a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure, with the tender stage concluding on the 11th of December 2025.
