## Summary

The Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust is currently seeking tenders for Taxi Services through an open procurement process. This tender, titled "Taxi Services," is aimed at delivering transportation for healthcare professionals, patients, and light goods on an as-needed basis, primarily within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The tender period is set to conclude on 17th October 2019, with the contract expected to start on 9th December 2019 and last for a duration of two years, ending on 8th December 2022. The total estimated value of the contract is £223,000.

This opportunity presents significant potential for businesses, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport or healthcare logistics sectors. Companies that specialise in flexible transportation services, particularly those equipped to handle the unique needs of healthcare transportation—including wheelchair-accessible vehicles—would be particularly well positioned to compete. Additionally, firms that can demonstrate reliability and a commitment to providing round-the-clock service could find this tender aligned with their capabilities and growth objectives.

## Notice

Kettering General Hospital NHS Foundation Trust (the "Authority") is issuing this invitation to tender ("ITT") under the 'Open Procedure' in connection with the competitive procurement of Taxi Services. The Contractor is required to provide a Taxi for the conveyance of healthcare professionals, patients and light goods on an ad hoc requirement. The provision of a Taxi service for the Trust will also involve the transportation of patients whose condition does not warrant an ambulance but who are accompanied by an escort/healthcare professional, who will require a return journey, medical notes, blood, drugs, cash, goods and various small items to various locations, normally within the county, but occasionally longer distances. There is also a level of demand for the transportation of patients who are unable to transfer out of their wheelchair. The contractor will be responsible for the provision of this service 24 hours a day, 365/6 days a year.
