Summary of the contracting process

Northern Lincolnshire and Goole NHS Foundation Trust is seeking taxi services to support its activities. The requirement is for passenger transport by taxi; the published description does not break down journeys, passenger groups or service arrangements further. The contract is a single service lot and is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The buying organisation is the NHS Foundation Trust, based in Grimsby. The procurement data does not identify specific delivery locations, so the geographic coverage of journeys cannot be established from the stated requirement. Suppliers whose business includes taxi and passenger transport services are the closest fit, subject to the service requirements and contract terms set out for the competition.

The Trust invited offers through an open procedure. The submission deadline set by the buyer was 24 November 2026 at 12:00 UTC; the stated deadline for the award decision was 9 December 2026 at 23:59:59 UTC. The contract period is scheduled to run from 1 January 2027 to 2 January 2030, with an extension option described as 1 + 1 years and a maximum extent date of 2 January 2032. The estimated value is £750,000 excluding VAT (£900,000 including VAT). There is one lot. Evaluation is weighted 45% on commercial factors, 45% on technical quality and 10% on social value. Submissions could be made electronically in English through the Atamis supplier portal.

This opportunity is suited to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to deliver services for an NHS trust. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises are expressly considered suitable, making the single-lot requirement potentially accessible to suppliers outside the largest operators. Bidders need to compete on both commercial offer and technical quality, which together account for most of the evaluation, while social value also contributes to the decision. The multi-year contract, with the possibility of extensions, may suit businesses able to provide continuity over a sustained period. The published requirement gives no specific fleet, staffing, accessibility, accreditation or prior-experience conditions, so suppliers should assess the detailed procurement documents for the operational standards and capacity expected before deciding whether to bid.
