The Transport Bureau has invited bids for 250 new licences covering the operation in each case of a single taxi. The 250 licences will each be valid for eight years, and cannot be transferred or extended, according to the notice published in the 16 March edition of the Macao SAR Gazette. The bidding process, by public tender, is a response to the phased expiration of existing time-limited taxi licences and increasing public demand for taxi services. Bidders must hold a Macao resident identity card or equivalent status. Each bidder can submit only one tender for a maximum of one licence. Individuals or groups of individuals can bid for the licences. The minimum bid price for each licence is 200,000 patacas, and there is an additional 10 percent stamp duty. A bid deposit of 50,000 patacas is required, payable either in cash or via bank draft. The public tender documents are now available at the Transport Bureau’s Public Relations Office, located at Estrada de D. Maria II, No 33, 6th Floor. Any queries regarding the tender documents should be submitted in writing to the Transport Bureau no later than 29 March 2016. All tenders should be submitted to the Transport Bureau Reception Desk – located at Avenida da Praia Grande, China Plaza Building, 3rd Floor – before the deadline of 6pm on 14 April 2016. Submitted tenders will be opened at the IPM Multisport Pavilion, located at Rua do Instituto Politécnico, at 10am on 17 April 2016. Those wishing to pursue their submitted tender are obliged to participate in the opening process that day and must produce their identity documents and the official receipt acknowledging their tender.
