## Summary

Carmarthenshire County Council procured bus and taxi transport services for non-PSV routes in Carmarthenshire. The requirement covers local passenger journeys delivered by taxi and bus operators; the published classification also identifies public road transport services. The council is the buyer. The awards show that the requirement was divided into individual route contracts, rather than one contract for a single operator: many separate services were allocated among local transport suppliers. This is relevant to taxi firms, minibus and coach operators, and other passenger transport businesses able to provide journeys within Carmarthenshire. The procurement was run through a dynamic purchasing system for bus and taxi services.

The procurement has been awarded, with active contracts recorded for multiple suppliers. It used a restricted procedure through a dynamic purchasing system. The stated service period was 1 April to 30 June 2026; contracts were signed on 1 September 2026. The requirement was assessed on cost of route alone. Contract values are route-specific: the recorded individual contracts range from £46,800 to £280,800. The awards include A.P Taxis, Call a Cab, ems cabs ltd, TEIFI TAXIS LTD, Tirydail Taxis LTD and other taxi and minibus suppliers. The published award information includes 107 awards, and the contracts include separate values for individual routes; these figures are not combined here.

This award provides evidence of recurring local demand for taxi and bus services from Carmarthenshire County Council, with work divided into route-level contracts and awarded to a range of predominantly small and medium-sized local operators. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles and be able to deliver the specific journeys reliably within Carmarthenshire. The successful supplier mix includes taxi firms as well as minibus and coach businesses, so operators need not be large national transport companies to compete. Price was the sole stated evaluation basis, making competitive route pricing commercially important. The evidence points to an opportunity suited to businesses with local coverage and the capacity to take on individual routes through a dynamic purchasing system.
