The City of Edinburgh Council (the Council) requires a medical provider to deliver medical advice to the Licensing Service regarding a person's fitness to drive a taxi or private hire vehicle. The medical provider will be required to examine all new license applicant's fitness to meet DVLA Group 2 standards in order to drive a taxi or private hire vehicle in accordance with Council regulations. In addition, any currently licensed drivers aged 60 will be re-examined every time they renew their license and any driver over the age of 65 will be re-examined annually. There are a total of approximately 5208 licensed taxi and private hire drivers with the Council. Provisionally, the contract term will be for a period of three years with an optional one year extension, taken at the sole discretion of the Council. Within this three year period, there are currently approximately 453 drivers turning 60 and approximately 345 drivers turning 65. The medical provider would be expected to have scope to assess this number of drivers plus any new applicants whose figures cannot be estimated. Additional information: Please note that as a minimum standard: The City of Edinburgh Council requires the provider to have an office based within geographical council boundaries. The medical provider will be required to perform assessments on a weekly basis over 52 weeks of the year. Assessments are required to be carried out face-to-face by a doctor.Value not published
