## Summary

The University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, in collaboration with North Cumbria Integrated Care NHS Foundation Trust, is planning a public tender for the provision of taxi services covering Lancaster, Kendal, and Barrow in Furness. This service will be operational 24/7 throughout the year, with an estimated contract value of £600,000. The tender is currently in the planning stage with a future notice date set for 9th October 2024. The procurement falls under the service sector, specifically classified as "Taxi services" within the CPV code 60120000, and the locations for delivery include the Westmorland General Hospital and Cumberland Infirmary in the UKD1 region. The process will be governed by the legal basis of CELEX 32014L0024 and will adhere to the Government Procurement Agreement (GPA).

This tender presents a significant opportunity for local taxi service providers to secure a sizeable and steady contract supporting hospital operations. It is particularly well-suited for companies that have experience or specialise in medical and non-medical transportation services. Businesses with a robust infrastructure to handle 24/7 operations and those capable of offering consistent, reliable services will stand a good chance in the competitive tendering process. The provision of bariatric equipment for rental as part of the services required suggests a need for firms familiar with specialised transport needs.
