What is being bought
Published requirement descriptionQE Facilities (the Authority) have a requirement to procure the services of suppliers to provide taxi services, to and from various locations throughout the North East of England through the establishment of a Framework Agreement.
The journeys will mainly involve the transportation of staff, however the successful contractors may also be required to transport patients, specimens, blood, drugs, medical equipment, clinical records or confidential mail and cash, on the instruction of an authorised officer.
Please note – this list is only indicative of the types of items which need transportation and may be subject to variation or change.
The service is required to be available at any time of the day or night, including weekends, bank holidays and public holidays 24/7.

- Price carries 60 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 6 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Taxi Service Framework” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
