## Summary

Trafford Council, a sub-central government public authority located in Manchester, launched a tender process for a "Framework for Taxi Testing Services" within the vehicle repair and maintenance industry. The procurement was conducted under an open procedure without reopening competition and was set to commence on 2nd December 2025 with potential contract extensions up to 2029. Despite a planned award date on 11th November 2025, the tender was eventually cancelled on 19th November 2025 due to no compliant bids being received. The complete tender process involved a tender period that concluded on 29th September 2025.

This tender, with a gross value of approximately £898,622.40, presented a significant opportunity for vehicle testing centres aiming to expand their operations within the public service sector. Businesses that are well-suited for this contract would possess the technical capability and experience in vehicle testing services, alongside a strategic goal to align with municipal regulations. Despite the cancellation, future re-tendering might attract SMEs focusing on quality service delivery and those capable of meeting detailed economic and technical criteria. Interested businesses should be ready to engage electronically via the Chest e-tendering system.
