## Summary

Teesside International Airport is inviting bids for the provision of passenger taxi services, with the procurement process currently at the tender update stage. The contract involves providing reliable and timely ground transport for passengers and their luggage, ensuring availability upon all inbound flight arrivals. Located in Darlington, the procurement falls under the services category, specifically taxi services, and is conducted via an open procedure. The deadline for tender submissions is 20 August 2026, with enquiries closing on 14 August 2026. The contract is set to commence on 20 September 2026 and run until 19 September 2029, with possible extensions. This opportunity is suitable for businesses in the transportation industry, particularly those with capabilities to operate hydrogen taxis, as the airport plans to build a hydrogen refuelling station.

This tender presents significant business growth prospects, particularly for companies focusing on sustainable and innovative transport solutions. Taxi service providers who can deliver high quality and cost-effective services are well-positioned to succeed, especially those open to commercial partnerships and offering social value. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to apply, given the contract's award criteria, which factor in price, quality, and social value. With the potential for renewal extensions, this tender can serve as a stable contract for growing businesses aiming to expand their client base in the UK transportation sector.

## Notice

Teesside International Airport is looking to appoint a provider of passenger taxi services. The provider is expected to provide a safe, sufficient, and suitable ground transportation service for passengers travelling to and from the Airport, and their luggage. The provider will ensure sufficient taxi vehicles are available for the arrival of passengers from all inbound flights. In the event that all available cars are insufficient for the number of passengers requiring them, the waiting time should not be longer than 15 minutes from the point of booking to arrival. Passengers must pre-book their taxi from the on-site kiosk, or use the phones provided to call the offices of the provider. We require bidders to also offer opportunities for commercial partnerships and/or benefits. Bidders should also be willing to operate a fleet of hydrogen taxis once the airport has completed the build of a hydrogen refuelling station.
