## Summary

Coventry City Council has conducted a procurement process under an "Open Framework" scheme for the provision of taxi services, including Home to School transport, within the Coventry area (region UKG33). The contract, entitled "COV - Taxi Framework," was awarded on 3rd July 2026 with a gross amount of £16,920,000. This open procedure is part of a framework agreement scheduled to reopen annually, providing opportunities for new and incumbent suppliers to participate. The latest award marks the completion of the tender process, with the service contract period extending from 16th July 2026 to 15th July 2029. The procurement was handled using an open method, following the guidelines set out in UK legislation 2023/54.

This taxi framework offers promising opportunities for businesses involved in transportation and related services to secure long-term partnerships with a sub-central government entity. The procurement process catered to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), demonstrated by the successful bids from such companies, suggesting that small businesses with competitive pricing and quality standards would be well-suited to participate. The framework's provision for reopening every 12 months enables continuous business growth potential, as it allows businesses to offer services without immediate re-competition under certain conditions, ensuring a steadily maintained client relationship with Coventry City Council.

## Notice

Coventry City Council established an Open Framework for the provision of taxi services - including Home to School transport provision - to eligible individuals in July 2025. The Open Framework re-opens for tenderers every 12 months.
