Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was managed by Wilton Park, a central government public authority located in Steyning, United Kingdom. The contract, entitled "Taxi Services," falls under the services category with a focus on transport services excluding waste transport. The procurement method was limited, indicating a below-threshold and limited competition approach, and is part of the "lightTouch" regime. The contract status is active, having been signed on the 1st of April 2025, and is set to conclude on the 31st of March 2026. The entirety of the contract is valued at £51,994 GBP.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the transport services sector. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those providing taxi services, are well-suited to compete for this contract type, given its limited competition approach. Suppliers like MICHAEL DOYLE TAXIS (represented as Rideaway Travel Ltd), the awarded contractor, demonstrate the scope for similar businesses to engage with public sector contracts to secure consistent revenue streams and bolster their market presence. Engaging in such contracts not only assists in boosting growth but also offers avenues for extending service offerings within the public domain.
