The Call Off Contract allows the Trust to book taxi rides with Uber Health if and when required, without any obligation of committed volumes or guarantee of work.<br/><br/>Due to the nature and operation of Uber Taxis, this service is not intended as a primary taxi service. There will still be a need to use more localised taxi companies due to the geography and region as to where Nottinghamshire Healthcare NHS Trust operates.

Published award criteria (2)
- Quality: 20
- Price: 80%
- Price carries 80 of 100 points: a 10% discount moves about 8 points. This one is won on the number: sharpen the price before polishing the prose.
- “Provision of Taxi Services (and Digital Ride Booking Platform)” is a framework: the contest is a place on its panel, up to 3 suppliers, not a single contract.
Price arithmetic assumes straight proportional scoring; the tender pack may use another formula.
