## Summary

Gedling Borough Council is buying the supply and delivery of vehicle identification plates for Hackney Carriage and Private Hire vehicles, together with identification badges and holders for combined Hackney Carriage and Private Hire drivers. The requirement also includes associated software and hardware. This is a goods contract covering printed identification products and related equipment, with delivery in the United Kingdom. The council is a sub-central public authority based at the Civic Centre in Arnold, Nottinghamshire. Suppliers should be able to provide the physical plates, badges and holders required for taxi and private hire licensing, and support the associated software and hardware element. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The process has reached tender: Gedling Borough Council invited offers through a below-threshold open competition. Suppliers could submit enquiries until 16 September 2026 at 12:00, and offers were due by 30 September 2026 at 12:00. The single contract is planned to run from 1 November 2026 to 31 October 2028, with a one-year renewal option extending the maximum period to 31 October 2029. Its estimated value is £60,000 excluding VAT and £75,000 including VAT. Evaluation is based on quality, including social value, weighted at 65%, and price, weighted at 35%. Offers may be submitted electronically through the council’s tendering system.

This opportunity suits suppliers that manufacture or source vehicle identification plates for licensed taxis and private hire vehicles, and produce driver identification badges and suitable holders. Businesses should be able to supply and deliver these items as a coordinated service, while also providing the associated software and hardware required by the council. The work is relevant to companies serving licensing, transport identification or regulated vehicle fleets, particularly those able to combine durable physical products with supporting technology. The buyer has identified the requirement as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so it is not limited to large national suppliers. Strong quality and social value proposals will be important because quality carries most of the evaluation weighting.
