Summary of the contracting process

East Ayrshire Council is seeking bids for a Corporate Taxi Service to support the transportation needs of vulnerable individuals in the East Ayrshire area. This tender is currently in the active procurement stage, following an open procedure. The tender period will close on 25 April 2017 at 12:00 PM, with the contract covering two lots: Lot 1 for the North Council Area and Lot 2 for the South Council Area. Both services will provide taxi hire for planned, urgent, and emergency requirements and aim to be available 24/7 throughout the year.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for transport service providers, particularly those experienced in providing accessible transportation solutions for individuals with special needs, including those with physical or learning disabilities. Businesses in the taxi and transport sector that can offer escorted and disabled access services are well-suited to compete for this contract. Given the continuous need for such services, successful bidders could establish long-term relationships with a local authority committed to supporting vulnerable populations, potentially leading to further business growth and contract extensions.
