This initiative, classified under the services category, is not a formal procurement but aims to identify potential providers whom The Beacon Centre can contact as and when services are required. The procurement process is marked as a planned effort, and interested taxi service providers are urged to register their interest by 28th July 2025. The service will cover Arbroath and the wider Angus region, offering an opportunity for local service providers to connect with a government contract opportunity aimed at supporting community wellbeing services. This tender provides significant opportunities for local taxi firms, especially those equipped with wheelchair-accessible vehicles, to enhance their business by becoming part of a preferred service provider list for Angus Council. The potential demand will arise from the transportation needs of individuals accessing support services at The Beacon Centre, particularly for those with mobility challenges or those requiring transport to the Carseview Centre, Dundee. Suitable businesses could expand their client base and gain exposure to other council opportunities. The Council will directly handle payments through an invoiced process, and participating taxi drivers will be offered basic mental health and suicide prevention training, ensuring a responsible and community-focused service approach. ## Notice This exercise is not to undertake a procurement as such. Rather the aim is to create a list of providers whom The Beacon Centre in Arbroath can approach for the provision of Taxi services, as and when required. ### Lot Information Lot 1 The Beacon is Angus' new Community Wellbeing Centre (CWC) providing kind and caring support for anyone 16 years and over experiencing emotional distress, their families, friends, and carers. The Beacon is located at Kirk Square, Arbroath and is open 12 noon to 12 midnight, 7 days a week, every day of the year. The Beacon staff may be required to provide transport to people who are unable to make their own way to and from The Beacon as well as possible transport to the Carseview Centre, Dundee for further assessment (if required). As this is a brand-new service to Angus, we do not know demand will be however we do not anticipate that this will be a frequent service request as our transport pathway will encourage people to utilise their own/family or friends and public transport but where these options are not available, we would then arrange taxi transport. Interested Taxi drivers would be given some basic mental health and suicide prevention training. You must hold a current applicable licence, ability to provide the provision during the opening times of 12 noon and 12 midnight, 7 days a week.
