Summary of the contracting process

Wilton Park, a public authority under central government, conducted a procurement process for taxi services, concluding with the award of a contract to SPH Taxis. The process, which utilised a limited competition procurement method below the threshold, culminated in an active contract valid from 1st April 2025 to 31st March 2026. The services will be provided primarily in Steyning, UK, as part of the policy service category, ensuring compliance with the 'lightTouch' regime. The procurement process has now reached the award stage, as the contract has been signed and details have been published on 13th February 2026.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services to engage with central government contracts. SME suppliers in the taxi industry may find it beneficial to compete in similar future tenders that employ limited competition methods, especially those focusing on local services within specific regions. Successful bidding on such contracts could lead to sustained growth through long-term government partnerships and an increased presence in the public sector market.
