## Summary

Central Bedfordshire Council has finalised the award stage for the contract titled "CBC-1813-LV-SM Hackney Carriage and Private Hire Driver Knowledge Test," focusing on providing training services. The process was completed under the classification of training services (CPV code 80500000), and the main procurement category is services. The award was confirmed on 20th October 2025, following the tender period that ended on 18th August 2025. Contract activities will span from 1st September 2025 to 31st August 2027. The project location is primarily in Bedfordshire, UK, but delivery addresses also include the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the Isle of Man among others. This tender was carried out using the procurement method described as "Other," and it was not specifically suitable for SMEs or VCSEs.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in training services, as it involves developing and administering knowledge tests for hackney carriage and private hire drivers. Firms that can offer robust training methodologies and well-structured educational content would find this project particularly advantageous. The awarded contract valued at £20,000 was secured by Green Penny, a capable supplier within this niche sector, potentially setting a benchmark for others looking to compete in similar future procurements. Companies seeking to expand their portfolio in public sector contracts, especially in training and development, are well positioned to capitalise on similar opportunities.
