Summary of the contracting process

Bromsgrove District Council commissioned a hackney carriage unmet-demand survey for Worcester City. The work is a transport survey service: it assesses whether demand for hackney carriage journeys is going unmet, providing evidence relevant to the local taxi service and its licensing arrangements. The recorded delivery location is the United Kingdom, while the survey title and description identify Worcester City as the area covered. The requirement is a single survey assignment rather than a broader transport or vehicle supply contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract has been awarded to CTS Traffic & Transportation Limited. The council used a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition; the process had one lot. The contract was signed on 22 October 2026 and runs from 22 October 2026 to 31 March 2027. Its value is £34,400 excluding VAT and £43,000 including VAT. The recorded award is for survey services. The published procurement data does not set out an evaluation basis beyond the direct award route.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need the specialist capability to design and carry out an unmet-demand survey for hackney carriage services, gather and interpret evidence about passenger demand, and deliver findings that can inform council transport or taxi-licensing decisions. Experience working with local authorities and understanding the operating context of hackney carriage services would be relevant. The awarded supplier is a specialist traffic and transportation business, showing that the work can be delivered by a focused consultancy rather than only by a large general contractor. Suppliers should be able to undertake a defined, time-limited survey assignment and provide the expertise needed to complete it within a public-sector contract.
