Summary of the contracting process

Cyngor Sir Ceredigion County Council has completed the procurement process for "Ceredigion - Learner Transport Taxis September 2023," focusing on public road transport services in Mid Wales. The procurement, classified under CPV code 60112000, involved a tender process initiated to replace existing learner taxi routes contracts expiring on 31 August 2023. The new contracts commenced on 1 September 2023 and are structured with options for extension until 31 August 2025 or longer, subject to additional extensions. Awarded contracts cover various routes with different suppliers, including Evans Coaches Tregaron Ltd, Fastline Cabs, Home James Taxis, and Lewis Taxis CYF. This open procedure highlighted a significant investment valued at approximately £1,246,150.80, enabling service continuity in the region and was completed by 17 August 2023.

This procurement programme presents growth opportunities for businesses in the transport services industry, specifically those equipped to offer contracted taxi services for educational transport. Companies experienced in providing reliable, consistent, and customer-focused taxi services stand to benefit. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those within the UK-region classification UKL1, are well-positioned to leverage this contract. The focus on price as the award criterion suggests competitive pricing remains key, promoting a fair and accessible market for smaller providers eager to expand their footprint in public service contracts.
