OJEU - F3 - Contract Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The latest contracting process commissioned by Carmarthenshire County Council, along with Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire College, involves the award of contracts for the provision of bus and taxi services. This process, classified under the industry category of general public services, was conducted via a restricted procedure and is currently in the award stage. The procurement covers the region UKL14, predominantly Wales, with contracts commencing on 1st July 2025 until 30th September 2025. The procurement method intended to ensure selective involvement in the tendering process.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), particularly those operating within the transport sector. Companies equipped with cost-effective solutions for public transport in regional locations are well-suited to compete for such contracts. The involvement of SMEs like 2 Impress Travel, bryn glas taxi, and Call a Cab demonstrates the tender's alignment toward providing opportunities for independent transport providers looking to expand their business within the public sector. Additionally, such tenders can facilitate the growth of local businesses by engaging them in publicly funded projects, enhancing their market presence and opening new revenue streams.
