This decision was made on the basis that the requirement relates to well-established and mature transport taxi services, for which there is an existing and competitive supplier market with known capability to deliver the contract. The Council has prior experience of procuring similar services and has sufficient internal knowledge of the market to develop a clear and proportionate specification without the need for additional engagement. Furthermore, undertaking pre-market engagement was not considered necessary in this instance as it would not have materially influenced the design of the procurement or improved outcomes, and proceeding directly to tender has supported a timely procurement process."

The estimated value is between PS1,478,000 and PS2,955,000 for the full term of the contract including all extensions. Please note that the contract value provided within this notice represents an estimate prepared by the Council. It is issued for guidance only and does not constitute a fixed budget or an indication of the expected contract price. Bidders are expected to submit a competitive bid based on market prices.

Amcangyfrifir bod y gwerth rhwng PS1,478,000 a PS2,955,000 ar gyfer cyfnod llawn y contract, gan gynnwys pob estyniad. Nodwch fod gwerth y contract a ddarperir yn yr hysbysiad hwn yn amcangyfrif a baratowyd gan y Cyngor. Fe'i cyhoeddir at ddiben arweiniad yn unig ac nid yw'n cyfateb i gyllideb benodol na chynrychioliad o bris disgwyliedig y contract. Disgwylir i gynigwyr gyflwyno cynnig cystadleuol yn seiliedig ar brisiau'r farchnad.",

Such variations may result in changes to passenger demand on individual routes, potentially impacting vehicle capacity requirements and overall service viability. These factors may affect the consistency of the services required and the associated contract value. The Council will manage these risks through ongoing contract monitoring, regular communication with operators, and application of agreed contract variation mechanisms to ensure continuity and value for money. Should the current geo-political instability continue there may be an impact on the viability of supplier commitments"
