## Summary

The Royal United Hospitals Bath NHS Foundation Trust has completed the procurement stage of awarding a direct contract for 24/7 taxi services, titled "The Supply of a Taxi Service," within the services category specific to taxi services. This contract, vital for staff, patient, and operational transport, is a transitional measure to maintain service continuity while transitioning to a BSW Group operating model. The contract is aligned to end on 31 March 2027, in sync with the Salisbury NHS Foundation Trust, setting a stage for future competitive group-wide procurement. The procurement process was executed as a direct award due to the necessity for uninterrupted service, with a contract valued at £187,000 gross. The award was made to Veezu and is scheduled to begin on 1 January 2026, serving the event's location in Bath, UK.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses providing taxi services to engage in similar future tenders, especially those capable of supporting hospital transport needs on a continuous basis. Large companies like Veezu, already involved in this sector, are well-positioned, but smaller niche providers may also find opportunities in future competitive group tenders anticipated post-2027. Such tenders will likely demand robust operational capability to deliver uninterrupted and reliable services crucial for healthcare support, thus presenting growth opportunities for qualified service providers looking to expand their portfolios in the healthcare transport domain.
