Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Phase 3B - SHHS3405 - 08/12/25 - AWARD" has been completed by Buckinghamshire Council, located in Aylesbury, United Kingdom. This contract pertains to taxi services under industry category CPV 60120000, using a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The contract period is scheduled to begin on 23rd February 2026 and conclude on 23rd February 2030. Buckinghamshire Council has sought bids from transport operators, requiring them to submit pricing based on mileage. The award process was finalised on 20th February 2026, with key dates including the tender period ending on 22nd December 2025.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities particularly for taxi service providers, given its four-year contract span, valued at £119,604.64. Companies with existing logistical capabilities and experience in transport operations would be well-suited to compete, although it's important to note that the procurement does not specifically encourage participation from SMEs or VCSEs. Neales Taxis Limited, a supplier based in High Wycombe, Buckinghamshire, has been awarded the contract. Businesses capable of managing logistics across diverse geographical locations including the United Kingdom, and potentially the British Oversea Territories and Channel Islands, could leverage this opportunity to expand their service offerings and customer base.
