## Summary

Falkirk Council has established a framework for the Provision of a Taxi and Private Hire Passenger Transport Service (REF: SW/24/TAXI), aimed at providing transport services for vulnerable social work service users within the Falkirk area. The procurement falls under the general public services industry category and has progressed to the award stage, with the framework agreement commencing on 27 June 2024 and being valid for a period of three years, with the possibility of a 12-month extension. The tender was conducted through an open procedure, and the total framework value is estimated at £1.1 million. The final contract award was issued on 11 November 2024, and multiple operators have been successfully integrated into the framework.

This tender presents significant growth opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the transport and logistics sector. Businesses providing taxi and private hire services can benefit from a steady stream of work over the three-year duration of the contract, which includes options for further extensions based on performance. The framework arrangement ensures that a diverse group of operators can participate, providing a competitive edge for SMEs looking to expand their service offerings in the public sector. Furthermore, participation in this framework aligns with community benefit requirements, potentially increasing local employment and training opportunities. The awarded businesses will have the chance to collaborate closely with Falkirk Council, further consolidating their market presence within the region.
