Summary of the contracting process

The West Dunbartonshire Council is conducting an open procurement process for the "Provision of Corporate Taxi Services," covering the taxi needs for Educational Services and Health & Social Care Partnerships across West Dunbartonshire. This contract facilitates both non-scheduled and scheduled taxi journeys and allows bidders to compete for individual service lots or the entire framework. The contract is set to commence in August 2021, with deadlines for tender submissions extended to June 4, 2021, to accommodate potential accessibility issues. The procurement is classified under CPV code 60120000 for taxi services.

This tender represents significant opportunities for local taxi service providers, particularly those specialising in educational transport and social care. Businesses that meet the financial criteria and have relevant insurance coverage would be well-positioned to compete effectively. SMEs, in particular, can leverage this chance to secure specific service lots, such as the provision of taxis for Additional Support Needs or ad-hoc transport services in the Dumbarton, Alexandria, and Clydebank areas, ultimately leading to potential growth within public sector contracts.
