UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Wirral University Teaching Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is procuring taxi services for Wirral NHS Trusts. The requirement is for passenger transport by taxi, rather than vehicles, construction or general transport consultancy. The buying organisation is based at Clatterbridge Hospital in Bebington, serving the Wirral area. The service category is taxi and private-hire passenger transport, classified under CPV 60120000. This opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide services for NHS trusts in Wirral. It may also suit operators with established local coverage and the resources to support a trust-wide service requirement. The procurement concerns services and is being run as a single requirement rather than a set of separately described service packages.

The process reached tender: the buyer invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. The enquiry deadline was 27 July 2026 at 5:00pm, and the offer submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at noon. The contract period is from 21 September 2026 to 1 August 2029, with a possible extension to 1 September 2029. The estimated value is £150,000 excluding VAT, or £180,000 including VAT. The requirement includes options and possible extensions described as extended years. Evaluation is based on commercial and technical criteria. Tender instructions state that submissions should be made through Atamis. The procurement is below the applicable threshold and is not divided into multiple lots.

This opportunity suits established taxi and private-hire operators with the operational capacity to provide reliable passenger transport for NHS trusts across Wirral. Relevant suppliers are likely to have access to suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the scheduling, dispatch and administrative systems needed to manage trust bookings and service delivery. Local knowledge of Wirral and the ability to coordinate journeys across the area would be useful. Businesses should be prepared to demonstrate their technical capability and commercial offer against the buyer’s evaluation criteria. The requirement may suit a single operator with sufficient fleet and workforce capacity, or a transport business able to organise delivery through its available resources while maintaining consistent service standards for NHS users.
