## Summary

The procurement process entitled "Award of Over Provision of Private Hire Cars Methodology" is initiated by the Scottish Government, with a focus on the services industry sector. The tender period commenced on 13th May 2019 and concluded on 13th August 2019, with the contract currently active following an award on 7th May 2019. The project aims to develop a methodology to assess the potential overprovision of private hire cars (PHC) in various localities, emphasising the needs of PHC users. The procurement took place in Edinburgh, aligning with the strategic objectives of the Scottish Government.

This tender presents significant opportunities for companies specialising in consultancy, traffic management, and transport services, particularly those with expertise in policy development regarding private hire vehicles. Businesses that have the capability to analyse transport needs, provide strategic insights, and navigate the regulatory landscape will be well-positioned to compete for this contract. Furthermore, firms offering wheelchair-accessible vehicle solutions will find valuable avenues to engage as the project seeks to ensure comprehensive service provision for diverse user needs.

## Notice

The main objective is to propose a methodology by which authorities can calculate whether there is an over provision of PHC within their area or specific localities within their area. The matter should be approached in terms of the interests of PHC users. The information obtained could contribute to the Scottish Government Guidance on Power to grant private hire car licences on grounds of overprovision. The requirements of a variety of areas should be considered and also the provision of an adequate service for the full range of users, including the supply of wheelchair accessible vehicles.
