## Description
This tender notice is for the Provision of Taxi Support Services to East Midlands Ambulance Service NHS Trust (EMAS). Previous UK1 Pipeline is 2026/S 000-008273.
Whilst EMAS undertakes the vast majority of NEPTS journeys, there is a need for extra capacity from 3rd parties to provide patient journeys. These journeys are allocated by EMAS for patients who do not require a front-line ambulance but qualify and meet the required NEPTS eligibility. This will include transporting of patients to and from hospital for routine appointments predominately, but other journeys may be required.
The intention is to award call off contracts to taxi providers providing necessary service within that area. 
The framework will be divided into lots based on the following geographical locations:
(Suppliers are welcome to apply for more than one lot)
Lot 1 - covers NEPTS Lincolnshire region, in the area where East Midlands Ambulance Service currently provide this service. This is broken down into 4 sub-lots based on postcode split.
Lot 2 - covers NEPTS Northamptonshire region. This is broken down into 2 sub-lots on postcode split.
(Please note that each Lot are subject to change in line with any national changes or local contracts with ICB/Commissioners.
**Conditions of Precedence**
With Journeys being time restricted due to patients appointment times, Taxi providers must confirm the postcode and geographical areas in which they operate (ideally without dead mileage). 
Call Off Contracts may be awarded to multiple providers within each lot/sub-lot and will be based on capacity and postcodes served, as per the Competitive Flexible Procedure as above.
