In plain English

NHS is setting up a Dynamic Market (a pre-approved list of suppliers) for taxi services, including private hire and hackney cabs. Councils and NHS trusts can then pick from this list to book taxis for patients, staff, or service users on an ad hoc or planned basis.

What the buyer wants

• Provide private hire and/or hackney carriage taxi services (regular, planned, or one-off journeys) • Supply associated technology platforms or booking systems that support the authorities using the service • Meet security standards, customer requirements, and any accreditation standards set for the taxi market in your area

Likely requirements

Our reading of the notice. Always check the tender documents.

You will not get onto this Dynamic Market unless you hold a valid taxi operator licence from the local authority and can demonstrate compliance with security, insurance, and safeguarding standards. Most small independent taxi drivers operating as sole traders will be excluded because the contract requires formal operator status and technology integration capability.

How to bid

This is a Dynamic Purchasing System: an open list of approved suppliers. You can apply to join at any time while it runs, and once accepted you can bid for the individual contracts the buyer runs through it.
