## Summary

Carmarthenshire County Council procured bus and taxi services through its dynamic purchasing system. The requirement covered non-PSV passenger transport contracts in Pembrokeshire, combining taxi services with public road transport. It was a service requirement delivered in Pembrokeshire, rather than a purchase of vehicles or infrastructure. The published scope identifies the transport type and area but does not describe individual passenger journeys, routes or service specifications. The procurement is relevant to taxi operators, minibus and coach businesses, and other passenger transport providers able to serve Pembrokeshire. The buyer named for this process is Carmarthenshire County Council; Pembrokeshire County Council and Pembrokeshire College are also listed as buyers in the process information.

The procurement is complete and contracts were awarded to suppliers through a selective restricted procedure under the dynamic purchasing system. The single listed lot was for non-PSV contracts in Pembrokeshire; its stated evaluation criterion was cost of route, weighted at 100%. The service period was 1 July to 30 September 2026, and contracts were signed on 1 September 2026. Awarded suppliers were 2 Impress Travel, Col’s Cabs, First Call Travel International, Garry’s Cabs, Gwynne Price Transport, Master Cabs, Tirydail Taxis, Wayne’s Minibus Travel, Wheelin Cab, Buzz Cabs, Bysiau Cwm Taf Valley Coaches, Cerbydau Cenarth, Cleddau Cabs, Evans Coaches, Elite Taxis, Home James Taxis, Hughes Taxis and Minibus Hire, Jones Motors (Login), Link Taxis, M Hayward & Daughter (South Wales), Matts Cabs, Midway Motors (Crymych), Nigel Eynon, Pembrokeshire Taxis and Minibus Hire, Richards Bros, Sarah Bell Minibuses and Tenby Taxis. The published contract values vary by individual award.

This award shows demand for local, non-PSV taxi, minibus and coach transport serving Pembrokeshire, with work divided among a substantial group of suppliers rather than placed with one provider. The successful supplier list includes specialist taxi firms, minibus operators and coach businesses, many identified as small and medium-sized enterprises. A credible competitor would need to provide passenger transport appropriate to the routes, operate locally across the service area and price individual routes competitively: route cost was the sole stated evaluation criterion. The award supports the relevance of this type of work to smaller operators as well as established transport companies, but the published requirement does not set out specific vehicle standards, passenger groups, staffing credentials or service capacity thresholds.
