Summary of the contracting process

The Coventry City Council has completed the procurement process for the "COV-Dynamic Purchasing System Taxis," categorised under Taxi services (CPV code 60120000). This process, conducted via a selective procurement method specifically through a restricted procedure, was focused on providing taxi services within Coventry, located in the UKG33 region. However, with the introduction of the new Procurement Act 2023, the Council has decided to terminate the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for taxis and replace it with a more flexible open Framework titled "Taxi Framework" (ref COV22140), which will be re-opened periodically. This process has moved through the award stage, with contracts now active as of June 2018 under award ID 053698-2025-1, valued at GBP 9,000,000.

This tender has created significant opportunities for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) involved in taxi and transport services, as reflected by the successful awards to local Coventry SME suppliers, such as Wayne Docking, Coventry Arena Taxi + Transport Services Ltd, SKY TAXIS MIDLANDS LIMITED, and Lewis Taxis. Businesses offering competitive taxi services in and around Coventry, or those looking to expand their regional presence, are well-placed to benefit from this framework. The periodic reopening of the framework allows for continual engagement, providing businesses with ongoing opportunities to secure contracts linked to public sector demand for reliable transport services.
