## Summary

The British Consulate General is seeking bids for a Driver/Chauffeur Service, with the procurement process currently in the Tender stage. The contract, classified under the CPV code for the hire of passenger cars with drivers, has a budget ranging from £10,000 to £25,000. Interested parties should note that the tender period ends on 23 March 2018, and the contract is set to commence on 1 April 2018, lasting until 31 March 2019. This opportunity is relevant for service providers located within a three-hour radius of San Francisco, particularly those able to respond quickly to varying notice periods.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) specialising in transport services, especially those capable of providing reliable driver and vehicle services. Companies that can demonstrate flexibility in accommodating both short notice requests and longer-term arrangements would be well-suited to compete for this contract. Additionally, firms with prior experience in working with official or diplomatic entities may find their applications favourably viewed by the British Consulate General, enhancing their prospects for business growth in this sector.

## Notice

We will need a driver or chauffeur to conduct local business trips in our official vehicle within a three hour radius of San Francisco. The successful bidder should also be able to provide additional cars when necessary and be able to confirm arrangements within a reasonable notice period. We prefer to give three days to several weeks notice but the successful bidder will agree to work with us with as little as 24 hours' notice. Ideally we would have one individual primarily assigned to drive our official vehicle. Please describe how you will meet these minimum requirements.
