## Summary

The NHS Lanarkshire Health Board has completed a tender process for a Taxi Services Framework. The framework will cover the movement of staff, patients, and urgent packages across the Health Board and surrounding areas. Divided into three geographical lots, the framework will last for three years with possible extensions. Suppliers will be ranked within each lot, and call-offs will be made based on this ranking.

This tender presents an opportunity for taxi service providers to secure contracts with NHS Lanarkshire. Businesses in the transportation industry, specifically those offering taxi services, are well-suited to compete for the framework agreement. The procurement process involves multiple lots and a ranking system for supplier selection. The framework offers the potential for ongoing business and revenue for successful suppliers over the contract period.
