## Summary

The Christie NHS Foundation Trust bought taxi services for staff and patients. The requirement covered travel for both groups, with delivery associated with the Trust in Manchester. The published description identifies the service as “Staff and Patient Travel - June”; it does not give further detail on journey volumes, routes or service arrangements. Veezu Limited, based in Cardiff, supplied the service. This is a transport-services requirement for taxi operators able to support travel connected with an NHS foundation trust. The procurement relates specifically to staff and patient journeys rather than general transport provision, so it is most relevant to businesses with the operating capability to fulfil taxi travel for healthcare staff and patients.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Veezu Limited through a direct award below the applicable threshold, without competition. The contract was signed on 30 April 2026 and covered the period from 1 to 30 June 2026. Its value was £35,264.65 excluding VAT, or £42,317.58 including VAT. The process was organised as a single lot. The award is recorded as active, and the contract is also recorded as active. The procurement record describes the Trust as already using the supplier while the tender process was pending, but does not set out an evaluation basis or eligibility conditions. The stated service was staff and patient travel by taxi, purchased by The Christie NHS Foundation Trust.

This award shows that The Christie NHS Foundation Trust purchases taxi travel for both staff and patients, and that the requirement was met by a commercial taxi operator. Suppliers interested in competing for comparable work when the requirement returns would need the operational capacity to provide journeys for two distinct user groups and to serve the Trust’s travel needs reliably. Veezu Limited is identified as an SME, demonstrating that a smaller supplier was selected for this contract. The route used here was a below-threshold direct award without competition, so this award does not demonstrate that the Trust assessed competing bids or published technical criteria. The requirement is relevant to taxi businesses able to support healthcare-related travel for an NHS trust; the available description does not establish specific fleet, accessibility, booking, safeguarding or service-level requirements.
