Summary of the contracting process

York St John University has completed a procurement process for its taxi services, in which it sought a suitably qualified supplier through an open competition below the threshold. The contract, titled "YORK ST JOHN UNIVERSITY TAXI SERVICES ITT," was awarded to Getaway Cars Ltd for a value of £30,000. The contract covers taxi services within the York region (UKE21) and will span from 30th January 2026 to 31st January 2029, with potential extensions up to 2031. This public authority, classified as a sub-central government entity, opted for an open procurement method with a deadline for submissions on 31st October 2025. During the award phase, the procurement was classified under the services category, specifically taxi services, with the official award notice published on 6th November 2025.

This tender represents a significant business growth opportunity for large and small enterprises, with a focus on taxi service providers. Although the procurement attracted three bids at the final stage, it did not see participation from VCSEs. The contract's emphasis on quality criteria such as innovation, customer support, and social impact suggests that companies excelling in these areas could gain a competitive edge. Given the criteria and the open nature of the procurement, both small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were considered suitable, further illustrating the inclusive nature of the competition and the opportunity for business diversification in service delivery to academic sectors.
