Summary of the contracting process

The Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Foundation Trust, operating out of Highbury Hospital in Nottingham, has completed the contracting process for the provision of taxi services complemented by a digital ride booking platform. This initiative, primarily under the services category with a focus on taxi services, falls under the EEM Framework for digital ride platforms. Awarded to Uber Health, this selective, restricted procurement process eases access to on-demand taxi services without guaranteed volumes, thus being ideal for supplementary travel needs across Nottinghamshire's regions. The action concluded on 2nd July 2025, with the contract having been signed effective from 1st May 2025.

This tender presents prospective business growth opportunities particularly favourable for taxi service providers and digital ride platform operators, especially those with a presence in the Nottinghamshire region. Businesses that can offer flexible, on-demand transport solutions alongside a digital booking interface could find attractive opportunities within similar NHS trust requirements or public service frameworks. With the procurement favouring price-sensitive offers, entities presenting competitive pricing strategies alongside demonstrated quality services are positioned well to succeed in such contracts.

Lot 1

The Call Off Contract allows the Trust to book taxi rides with Uber Health if and when required, without any obligation of committed volumes or guarantee of work.
