## Summary

The South Western Ambulance Service NHS Foundation Trust is in the planning phase of a procurement process titled "Provision of Taxi Services", aimed at establishing a framework agreement for transporting clinically stable patients. This contract falls under the services category, specifically focused on taxi services, and is valued at approximately £3.8 million. The contract is expected to commence on 1 November 2025 and conclude on 31 October 2033, with an anticipated notice date for tender publication on 1 August 2025. This initiative is located in Exeter, under the UKK43 region, and is guided by legal statutes referenced as the UKPGA 2023/54.
