Summary of the contracting process

The NHS Greater Glasgow and Clyde (NHSGGC) is overseeing the procurement process for the "Taxi and Transport Service for Passengers and Urgent Packages", categorised under taxi services (CPV: 60120000). This procurement falls within the Greater Glasgow area, covering specific locations such as Glasgow City, East Dunbartonshire, West Dunbartonshire, Renfrewshire, and Inverclyde. With the procurement status marked as complete on 6 March 2026, this tender follows a restricted procedure, ensuring selective participation. The process necessitates stringent vetting protocols due to its categorisation as a business sector at risk of serious organised crime (SOC) infiltration. Consequently, the NHSGGC requires compliance with the SOC mitigation protocol and enforcement of specific criteria for participation, including essential deadlines for submission through the PCS portal.

This tender represents significant opportunities for businesses proficient in providing taxi services, especially those with established capabilities in serving public health sectors efficiently within the Greater Glasgow area. The contract emphasises punctuality and availability, favouring enterprises with robust operational systems for passenger and package transport across multiple lots. Given the sensitive nature of the contract, potential suppliers must demonstrate substantial organisational stability, quality management practices, and the ability to meet technical and economic criteria. Large-scale operators and SMEs capable of fulfilling strict compliance requirements, including the ability to pass SOC vetting by Police Scotland, may find growth potential by securing parts of this expansive, multi-location service contract.
