Summary of the contracting process

The Ministry of Defence, for British Forces Cyprus, procured a driven passenger transport service using taxis, minibuses and coaches with drivers. It covers scheduled and ad hoc journeys, including school transport, medical appointments, compassionate travel and other transport needs. Journeys take place in the Republic of Cyprus and the Sovereign Base Areas on the island of Cyprus. International journeys and travel to or within the Turkish-controlled areas north of the Green Line are excluded. The requirement is for vehicles supplied with drivers; self-drive hire is outside scope. This is passenger transport work combining taxi services and non-scheduled journeys with the hire of passenger vehicles, buses and coaches with drivers.

The procurement was awarded following an open procedure. Agility DGS UK Ltd, also named as Agility DGS UK Limited, was selected; the award was made on 4 February 2026. The award value is £7,858,000 excluding VAT (£9,429,600 including VAT). The contract was signed on 25 March 2026 and runs from 1 April 2026 to 31 March 2029, with two optional 12-month extensions, up to 31 March 2031. The stated contract value is €8,901,062. There was one lot, assessed on a 50% technical score—including technical capability and social value—and a 50% commercial score using a value-for-money index. The lot was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The tender deadline was 27 October 2025.

This award shows a requirement for a supplier able to coordinate a mixed fleet of taxis, minibuses and coaches, with drivers, for both planned journeys and changing transport demands. A credible competitor would need to provide vehicles at locations specified in demand orders, use only vehicles on the contract’s authorised vehicle list, and accept amendments to demand orders. The service spans school, medical, compassionate and other personnel journeys across British Forces Cyprus locations in the Republic of Cyprus and Sovereign Base Areas; it does not cover international travel or the areas north of the Green Line. The successful supplier met all three reported early performance measures: authorised vehicles, provision at the required locations, and acceptance of demand-order amendments. Technical capability and social value formed half of the evaluation, alongside price and value for money.
