This contract, valued at £190,240, covers services from 1st January to 31st March 2026. The services are related to the industry category of "Taxi services" under the CPV code 60120000. The procurement was conducted via a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, and utilised a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS).

Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire College also acted as buying organisations in this procurement exercise.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those offering bus and taxi operations.
