These services encompass transport for patients, relatives, staff, and transfer of various assets like equipment, records, and samples. Situated in Lincolnshire, the contracts cover three lots across regions such as West Lindsey & North Kesteven, East Lindsey & Boston, and South Kesteven & South Holland in the UKF3 area. Following an open procurement method labelled as competitive flexible procedure, the contracts were awarded on 8th February 2026 and are active from 9th February 2026 to 8th February 2030, with options to extend until 2032. These contracts, valued at approximately £4.58 million GBP each, offer substantial growth opportunities for companies specialising in transport services, particularly those with experience in handling medical-related logistics. Large companies like 24x7 Ltd, LCN Contract & Hire Ltd, and LuxLift Ltd, among others, have already been awarded and are therefore well-positioned. However, there remains potential for new entrants in future tenders or extensions, specifically those offering high-quality services and competitive pricing. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) aiming to break into the healthcare logistics sector may also find emerging opportunities due to the emphasis on quality and the complex requirements addressed within these contracts. ## Notice Taxi Services to transport patients, relatives and Authority employees and/or agents as well as transferring assets including equipment, records and samples ### Lot Information West Lindsey & North Kesteven LOT 1 - West Lindsey & North Kesteven (this Lot also includes Ironstone Centre in North Lincolnshire) Options: Option to extend Renewal: By 2 x 12 month periods East Lindsey & Boston LOT 2 - East Lindsey & Boston (this Lot also includes Quayside Medical Centre in North East Lincolnshire) Options: Option to extend Renewal: By 2 x 12 month periods South Kesteven & South Holland LOT 3 - South Kesteven & South Holland Options: Option to extend Renewal: By 2 x 12 month periods ### Planning Information United Lincolnshire Teaching Hospitals NHS Trust, Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust and Lincolnshire Partnership NHS Foundation Trust are holding taxi supplier engagement days due to the re-tender of the taxi procurement.
