Provision of Taxi Marshalls 2020 - 2022

Wigan Council invites the submission of quotations for the Provision of Taxi Marshalls to operate at taxi ranks within Wigan town centre. The main targets that the service and the marshalls should strive to achieve are the reduction of crime and the prevention of public order situations which may lead to the commission of crime if allowed to remain unchecked. The marshalls will be expected to provide a high visibility presence to provide assistance, information and reassurance to members of the public and taxi drivers at the ranks listed below, mainly on Saturday evenings and Sundays of Bank Holiday weekends from 1st March 2020 to 28th February 2022. Marshalls may also be required at times of weekday Bank Holidays i.e. Christmas and New Year's Day. Marshalls will be expected to work up to 6 hours each weekend increasing to 9 hours to cover Sundays on Bank Holiday weekends between 12:00 midnight and 6:00am, or such other times as may be notified. The service must provide 4 marshalls who will work in pairs and cover the following ranks: 1) King Street, Wigan outside Brocol House; and, 2) Wallgate, Wigan opposite Wallgate train station. Interested applicants should refer to the Request for Quotation document which contains a full specification for this service. The closing date of Friday 7th February 2020 at 17:00 represents the deadline for the receipt of final quotation submissions.
