Summary of the contracting process

Westmorland and Furness Council has concluded an open procurement process for transport services, identified under the CPV code 60000000. This contract, titled "Lot 1b - Up to 8 Passenger Seats with Passenger Assistant for various areas," involves providing transport services within England, UK. The tender process ended on 10th July 2025, and the award was announced on 11th July 2025. The contract is scheduled to start on 3rd September 2025 and will run until 31st August 2029. This award, valued at £955,962.20, is in the award phase with 24x7 Ltd, Fell View Private Hire, and N&C Taxi Service named as the successful suppliers.

This procurement presents an opportunity for businesses involved in the transport sector, particularly those capable of providing passenger services with an assistant, to expand their market reach. SMEs may find this type of tender particularly appealing due to its emphasis on suitability for such enterprises, as evidenced by the inclusion of smaller suppliers like Fell View Private Hire and N&C Taxi Service. Engaging in government contracts can lead to steady revenue streams and bolster a company's reputation through successful service delivery for public sector bids.
