Taxi Driver Online

We are very new to tendering process for contracts, How do most of you guys handle it, are your contracts done by a specialist or dealt inhouse? Thanks for your time in reading..

Most done in house.

Usually the first one you do takes forever, but I believe it does get better.

Welcome to the world of Red-Tape.

Is it a school tender or a corporate tender?

What you get up to in the bedroom is of no concern to me

well, i have had a absolute nightmare doing this tbh , i do a school run for someone & thought i would buy my op licence(500brick) & register & get my own , the website is a right carry on , although i have had my own forums, built pc`s etc know a fair bit about computers i can not navigate around the site, i just gave up, my mate has a daughter that works all over the world for nissan in the it dept, she has a degree in computer science ( or whatever), it took her 3 hrs to get sorted for her dad , some of the lads i know cant even d/l a film ffs, they have no chance , neither do i now tbh , i just gave up

Firstly you would have to be "approved" which would start with an induction

then most councils have to use a "framework" to get you on the approved list of contractors

these can be 1 year or like ours 3 years, so miss the boat (ours just sailed) and its 3 years before you can even tender


ours isnt the worst by far, but still about 20 pages, Warwickshires i gave up on, just not feasible for an owner driver

After wading thru our 50 page framework (and being asked for my hackney operators licence) i finally got me acceptance

oh no, its an Intention to Award Letter.

The actual Award Contracts will be sent out on or after 19th June 2015

I had 1 good school contract for 4 and a half years (6 days a week), then a not so good for a year and now back on a good one for 3 years

it means i am not "base dependent", i really AM self employed......unlike so many

i have only "taxi driven" for 1 or 2 days a week for the last 16 months.....for some pocket money
