Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

NHS Fife has initiated an open procurement process for the provision of "Assisted Transport (Private Ambulance) and Taxi Transport Services," located in the UKM72 region, primarily Dunfermline. This tender falls under the services category, specifically targeting taxi services, with a CPV classification of 60120000. The process is currently at the tender stage with submissions required via electronic means by 30th July 2026, at 12:00 PM. The services are aimed at providing licensed taxi and private hire transport, as well as high-quality assisted transport for NHS Fife, covering patient transport including renal and discharge services. The contract is set for a duration of 1800 days, with specific needs for a qualified workforce and adaptable fleet to accommodate varying demands in patient transport.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly those with expertise in non-emergency patient transport and taxi services. Companies that can efficiently manage a fleet of wheelchair-accessible vehicles and those with a robust service delivery model, focusing on workforce training and clinical and equipment capability, are well-suited to compete. With criteria stressing quality service, sustainability, and community benefit, suppliers that offer innovative and comprehensive service models aligning with these requirements can leverage this tender to scale their operations and establish a strong foothold within the public healthcare transport sector in Scotland.
