## Summary

The Department for International Trade has completed a procurement process for a Ministerial Taxi Service, aimed at providing taxis and passenger attendants for high-profile officials. The service, classified under taxi services (CPV code: 60120000), is valued at £48,000 and operates under a selective procurement method through a call-off from a framework agreement. The contract period began on 10th October 2019 and will end on 9th October 2021, with the procurement stage being awarded as of 8th October 2019. The service is required in London to accommodate the flexible travel needs of the Secretary of State and other ministers within the department.

This contract offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in taxi and chauffeur services. Providers that can demonstrate flexibility and adaptability in their service provision would be particularly well-suited to compete for similar contracts. The emphasis on a high-quality service delivery for government officials presents a potential growth avenue for both small and medium-sized enterprises, which can meet the rigorous standards expected by public sector clients.

## Notice

DIT is seeking to procure a service to provide taxis and passenger attendants for the Secretary of State for International Trade, Minister of State for Trade Policy, Minister of State for Investment, Minister of State for Export Promotion and Investment, Permanent Secretary for the Department for International Trade, and Second Permanent Secretary for the Department for International Trade. Taxis and passenger attendant services are required for the aforementioned principals to commute safely to public engagements, travelling between official meetings, and business travel. Due to the unpredictable and fast-changing business priorities of our principals, we require a flexible service provision.
