This contract falls under the transportation services category and targets locations that include the Rutherford Appleton Laboratory in Oxfordshire, Daresbury in Cheshire, and facilities in Edinburgh and Swindon. Currently, the procurement is in the award stage, having been active since the tender was published on 18th October 2019, with a contract period extending from 5th February 2020 until 4th February 2024. The procurement process followed an open procedure above threshold, with the deadline for submissions being 27th November 2019. This tender presents significant business growth opportunities for SMEs specialising in taxi services, especially those equipped to handle a high volume of journeys across various regions. With an estimated 5,000 trips required primarily in Oxfordshire, suppliers who can provide efficient and reliable transport solutions, including local and airport transfers, would be well-positioned to compete. Given the breadth of service required, businesses with a robust operational capability and flexible scheduling would enhance their chances of success in securing this lucrative contract. ## Notice UKRI (STFC) has a significant need for "bought in" taxi journeys for staff, users and visitors across all of its sites, Rutherford Appleton Laboratory, Oxfordshire (RAL), Daresbury, Cheshire (DL), Edinburgh (UKATC) and Swindon. Due to the high level of "User" visits to ISIS and CLF at the RAL Oxfordshire based site, that area has the highest volume requirement, approximately 5000 separate trips (although this number can vary widely depending, particularly, on the running days of the large facilities). Journeys range for local trips as low as 12miles up to longer trips, typically to airports, of 50 miles pl Additional information: https://www.delta-esourcing.com/tenders/UK-UK-Swidon:-Taxi-services./YC32E92697 Lot 1 - Rutherford Appleton Laboratory (RAL) Area.
