Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Warwickshire County Council procured passenger transport services using taxis or private hire cars. The requirement covers individual passenger transport routes delivered in the West Midlands, under the council’s dynamic purchasing system. It is a services contract for road transport, covering the operation of taxi or private hire car journeys rather than the supply of vehicles or general transport infrastructure. The awarded routes form part of the council’s passenger transport arrangements for Q1 2026. The opportunity is relevant to taxi firms, private hire operators and transport businesses able to provide scheduled route-based passenger journeys for a local authority. Small and medium-sized enterprises were identified as suitable suppliers for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 February 2029. It used a selective procedure as a call-off from a dynamic purchasing system. Warwickshire County Council awarded the requirement to various suppliers, with the published award value stated as £8,362,297.79. The award contract period runs from 24 February 2029 to 25 February 2029. The award covers individual routes rather than a single named supplier’s entire transport operation. The recorded contract period is therefore two calendar days, and the award value should be treated as the value recorded for this procurement, not redistributed between routes or suppliers. The process was evaluated through the dynamic purchasing system call-off route.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates substantial local-authority demand for taxi and private hire passenger transport across the West Midlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Warwickshire County Council would need to operate suitable taxi or private hire vehicles and be able to deliver individual scheduled routes reliably. The scale of the recorded award indicates that suppliers may need enough vehicles, drivers and operational coordination to cover multiple routes or periods of demand, whether independently or through a managed network. The successful supplier profile is therefore most relevant to established taxi and private hire operators, transport companies and small businesses with practical capacity for council route work.
