Summary of the contracting process

Tees, Esk and Wear Valley's NHS Foundation Trust is initiating a tender process for the provision of taxi services aimed at patients, including wheelchair users and children, as well as staff and light goods. The contract will encompass routine and ad hoc transportation requirements, with mandatory 24-hour service availability throughout the year, including Sundays and Bank Holidays. This procurement opportunity is classified under the "Taxi services" industry category and covers the North East region of the United Kingdom. The tender will proceed through an open procedure, with electronic submissions via the Cardea Portal, and will close on 18 November 2024. Key contract dates include a start date of 1 March 2025, extending up to 29 February 2028, with potential for two additional one-year extensions. The total contract value is approximately £1,000,000 per year over seven specific lots, including areas such as County Durham, Darlington, Teesside, and York.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, particularly for SMEs capable of delivering high-quality, reliable taxi services. Businesses that can demonstrate a capacity for 24-hour operations and the ability to serve multiple geographic areas will be well-positioned to compete. Companies specialising in patient transport and those proficient in handling ad hoc and routine logistical requirements will find this opportunity particularly attractive. The contract’s electronic submission format and division into multiple lots allow flexibility and encourage participation from a diverse range of suppliers, broadening the potential for new market entrants and existing providers to expand their service offerings.
