## Summary

The procurement process for the "Ministerial Taxis" contract was conducted by the Department for Business & Trade, located in London. This procurement falls under the "services" industry category, specifically road transport services, and was awarded through a direct procurement method without competition, as it was below the threshold. The procurement stage is complete, with the contract for taxi services supporting ministers and the Permanent Secretary in place as of 16th October 2025, running until 8th October 2027, with an option to extend for up to 12 months. The awarded supplier is Excel Executive Limited, a London-based SME.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in road transport services to engage in government contracts and potentially secure future extensions or similar contracts. SMEs experienced in providing reliable and flexible travel solutions may find such opportunities particularly lucrative, given the government's requirement for quality service to facilitate high-level departmental functions. Businesses adept in providing services under short-notice demands would be well-positioned to compete for similar future contracts.

## Notice

The Department for Business and Trade has a requirement for a taxi service that ensures Ministers and the Permanent Secretary are able to access a flexible and reliable travel service to support the work of the Department, and for when existing arrangements under the Government Car Service provision is not available.
