UK4 - Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Northern Ireland Housing Executive is buying taxi services to transport homeless applicants from local offices to temporary accommodation. The requirement covers two service areas: Derry/Londonderry for the West Area and Coleraine for the Causeway Area. Suppliers would provide journeys between the relevant local offices and temporary placements, in line with the service specification and the Housing Executive’s contract conditions. This is a transport-services requirement rather than a general taxi operation: providers need to be able to support the Housing Executive’s arrangements for moving applicants into temporary accommodation across one or both of the named areas.

The buyer invited offers through a competitive flexible procedure. The procurement is divided into two lots, for Derry/Londonderry and Coleraine, with each lot evaluated on cost alone. The stated values are £120,000 for Derry/Londonderry and £80,000 for Coleraine, excluding VAT. The contract period for both lots runs from 23 November 2026 to 22 November 2029, with provision for renewal extending the maximum period to 22 November 2031. Suppliers could submit questions until 16 October 2026 at 15:00, and the bid deadline was 26 October 2026 at 15:00. The buyer set 11 November 2026 as the end of the award period. Offers may be submitted electronically through the eTendersNI portal, in English.

This opportunity suits taxi operators able to provide dependable passenger transport in the Derry/Londonderry or Coleraine areas, or across both. The work supports transport for homeless applicants travelling from local Housing Executive offices to temporary accommodation, so suppliers need the operational capacity to arrange and deliver those journeys in accordance with the specification and contract conditions. Businesses can compete for either area as a separate lot, allowing regional operators to focus on the area they serve. Since cost is the sole stated award criterion for both lots, suppliers’ commercial pricing is central to the competition. The requirement is for a sustained service over several years, with possible renewal; operators should be prepared to meet the relevant delivery obligations throughout the contract period. No specific accreditation or experience threshold is stated in the available tender data.
