Summary of the contracting process

Falkirk Council has completed the open procurement process for “Provision of a Taxi and Private Hire Passenger Transport Service” (REF: SW/24/TAXI). This project, classified under CPV code 60120000 for taxi services, aims to establish a framework agreement with multiple operators for providing transport services for vulnerable social work service users in the Falkirk area. The process reached its award stage, with contracts signed on 27 June 2024, following successful bids. The procurement process was conducted openly, and Falkirk Council, located at Transport Planning, Place Service, Falkirk Stadium, Stadium Way, FK2 9EE, UK, managed the tender. The framework agreement duration is 36 months, with a possible 12-month extension, and had an estimated value of £1,100,000.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those engaged in taxi and private hire services. Winning such contracts can provide steady income streams and enhance business credibility. The project required operators to be licensed under the Civic Government Scotland Act 1982, ensuring quality standards. Awarded to multiple suppliers, including Bruce Taxis Ltd, Express Taxis Ltd, and RL taxis, among others, the framework encourages competition and offers a chance for businesses to secure a substantial client in Falkirk Council. SMEs experienced in logistics, passenger transport, and community service provision are well-suited to compete in such tenders.
