The procurement process is currently in the planning stage, with a market engagement deadline set for 15th May 2023. The Trust aims to launch the tender process in Summer 2023, creating opportunities for taxi companies to provide safe and cost-effective transportation services to support the Trust's operations. This tender for taxi services offers opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) within the East Midlands region. Businesses interested in providing taxi services to the Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust should take note of the upcoming market engagement sessions and the deadline for confirming interest by 10th May. This procurement presents a chance for companies to contribute to delivering high-quality transport services that meet the Trust's objectives and competitive pricing requirements. ## Notice Leicestershire Partnership NHS Trust (LPT) is a Community and Mental Health Trust serving the population of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland (LLR). LPT has a requirement for the use of taxis on a private hire basis to transport people (including staff and patients) and small consignments of goods between various locations within LLR. It is imperative that LPT has arrangements in place for taxi services that are safe and cost effective. To support this objective, LPT intends to run a tender process to source and award contracts for the provision of taxi services to a provider or providers who can support the Trust to provide a high-quality service at competitive prices. LPT intends to launch the tender process in Summer 2023. As part of developing our requirements and tender process we would like to conduct some market engagement with taxi companies within the region.
