Apparently East and North Hertfordshire NHS Trust, Lister Hospital, has had a tender out for:

QUOTE from supply2.gov.uk email:
Short description of the contract or purchase(s)
Supply of taxi services for the conveyance of staff, patients, wheel
chairs and light goods for both routine and ad hoc requirements.
UNQUOTE

I wonder whether this will be for our (WH) benefit, and if so, who will pay for it?   

It has been awarded to Ace Taxis, Chells, SG2 0DL, Stevenage, so our WH taxi drivers won't benefit...   

QUOTE from supply2.gov.uk email:
INFORMATION ON VALUE OF CONTRACT
... Initial estimated total value of the contract Value 1 GBP
Excluding VAT
UNQUOTE

Is this correct? £1? Or is this some sort of contracting procedure? Or is it a mistake? Or does it mean that the taxi users will pay? WHAT?

Exclusive taxi contracts always work very well. Just look at Stansted Airport as a good example!

(I'll let you work out if I'm being sarcastic!!!!)
