Description
Doncaster and Bassetlaw is to award contracts for taxi services for the transport of staff, patients and light goods across the demographical area covered under the jurisdiction of Doncaster and Bassetlaw Hospitals NHS Trust. The Trust recently took part in a regional procurement exercise to appoint contracts for taxi services for its Doncaster and its Bassetlaw sites. This process was undertaken by NHS COECPC and was concluded in December 2019. This process failed to receive any appropriate bids and consequently awarded no contracts for Doncaster and Bassetlaw. The Trust will now enter into contracts with local providers, each contract to be negotiated and awarded separately.
