## Summary

The Derbyshire County Council has initiated a planning phase for a public procurement opportunity titled "PLACE060 Ad Hoc Taxi Provisions Soft Market Engagement" in the transport services industry. The engagement process is underway, with an end date set for 10th November 2022. The Council aims to engage with suppliers to assess interest in a SPA Short Term Taxi Service and gather information for potential future procurement opportunities.

This tender presents an opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations in the transport services sector. Suitable businesses can participate in the Soft Market Engagement exercise to provide insights on service possibilities, costs, and packaging requirements. Businesses with innovative solutions and a focus on efficient service provision would be well-suited to compete in this pre-procurement engagement process facilitated by the Derbyshire County Council.

## Notice

The Council wishes to hear from companies/organisations willing to share information about the possibilities for a SPA Short Term Taxi Service to gauge the likely level of interest in the project from the market. This will enable the Council to gain a better understanding of the solutions available, how they could be supplied, an indication of the likely costs, helping the Council determine the most effective way of packaging and scoping its requirements for any future procurement opportunity. As such the Council is undertaking this Soft Market Engagement (SME) exercise to engage with suppliers and share information.
