## Summary

The NHS Lanarkshire Health Board, as the buying organization, has awarded the contract for the "Taxi Services Framework" to suppliers for three geographical lots covering different hospital areas. The procurement stage is complete, with contracts awarded for each lot. The framework aims to facilitate the transportation of staff, patients, and urgent packages across the Health Board. The deadline for tender submissions and the contract signing dates were held in September 2023.

Suppliers need to closely follow the tendering process details outlined to secure business opportunities within the NHS Lanarkshire framework.
