## Summary

Tees, Esk and Wear Valleys NHS Foundation Trust is engaging in an open procurement procedure for the provision of taxi and courier services, covering regions such as County Durham, Darlington, Harrogate, Hartlepool, Stockton, Scarborough, Malton, Teesside, York, and Selby. The procurement focuses on delivering sustainable transport solutions for patients eligible for hospital transport, as well as staff and light goods, across seven lots. The procurement stage is currently active, with the tender period set to conclude on 11th November 2024, and the bid opening scheduled for 18th November 2024. Each contract, valued at approximately £1,000,000 per year, is intended for a duration of 36 months with the possibility of a 2 x 1-year extension, making the maximum potential period 5 years.

Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with capabilities in sustainable transport and 24/7 service provision would be particularly well-suited to compete. The contract requires comprehensive service coverage, including holidays and bank holidays, therefore businesses capable of consistent operations can establish long-term relationships within the NHS Trust's network, securing steady revenue streams and bolstering their portfolio in public health logistics and transport services.
