## Summary

The British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC) is currently engaging in the procurement process for a contract titled "Logistics - Taxi Hire Services." This initiative falls within the service sector, specifically related to taxi services, and encompasses a total estimated contract value of £60 million to £74 million over a seven-year term, starting from 1 July 2019. The tender was published on 7 August 2018 and involves a selective procurement method with a competitive procedure including negotiation, which indicates the involvement of a formal tendering process. The contract allows for an initial five-year term with the potential for extensions of up to 24 months.
