UK1 - Pipeline Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Mid and South Essex NHS Foundation Trust is establishing a UK-wide Dynamic Market for taxi services. The requirement covers private-hire and hackney-carriage transport for individuals or small groups, including regular planned journeys and ad hoc unplanned transport. It also includes associated technology and support services needed to help public authorities deliver taxi transport, with customer, security, accreditation and other market-specific standards. HealthTrust Europe LLP is conducting the procurement on behalf of the Trust and participating public authorities. Potential users include NHS and social care organisations, local authorities, central government, educational establishments, housing providers, emergency services and other contracting authorities. The procurement is for services and is arranged as one lot covering taxi services and associated services.

The process has reached tender: the buyer invited offers through an open procedure to establish a Dynamic Market, with electronic responses submitted through HealthTrust Europe’s eTendering portal. The tender submission deadline is 20 August 2030 at 23:59. The Dynamic Market period is 21 August 2026 to 20 August 2030 at 23:59, while the stated lot contract period runs from 30 August 2025 to 30 June 2029 at 23:59. The market is above threshold and intended for further competitions among admitted suppliers. Applicants must pay a management charge of 2% of the value of invoices issued under call-off contracts. The single lot is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This opportunity suits licensed taxi operators, private-hire and hackney-carriage providers, transport agencies, passenger-vehicle-with-driver businesses and technology or support providers able to deliver these services together or through suitable arrangements. Suppliers need the operational capacity to transport individuals and small groups for planned and unplanned journeys, meet customer-service and reporting requirements, and demonstrate reliable performance and compliance. Selection will consider legal standing, economic and financial standing, technical and professional capability, relevant experience, policies, licences, accreditations and equivalent standards. Applicants must accept the Dynamic Market terms, provide monthly management information and permit invoice audits up to quarterly. The stated requirements are proportionate, with equivalent qualifications, standards and experience accepted.
