Summary of the contracting process

The Foreign Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO), located in London, is the contracting authority for a procurement process titled "Provision of Taxi Services for core and non-core regions in Tanzania outside of the BHC, Dar Es Salaam." Categorised under taxi services, this procurement followed an open procedure, which concluded its tender stage on 17th January 2025. The contract was awarded on 24th July 2025 to Sky Link Rent a car, based in Dar es Salaam, for a value of GBP 46,800. The contract is set to run from 1st August 2025 until 31st July 2026.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those capable of operating in diverse regions outside typical urban centres. Ideal candidates for this type of contract would include large-scale taxi service providers, or businesses with the capability to manage extensive logistical operations across various geographical areas. Engaging in such a contract can offer substantial growth through international exposure and the chance to forge relationships with government entities like the FCDO, enhancing reputation and expanding market reach. As this procurement was not designated as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger businesses are better positioned to enter into such agreements.
