Summary of the contracting process

An award has been made in the procurement process titled "Summer Operations Week 5 - SALF1422 - 29/08/2025" under Buckinghamshire Council's e-Tendering system. This process, now complete, falls within the taxi services industry (CPV: 60120000) and spans locations including the United Kingdom and various territories. The selective procurement method was employed using a restricted procedure. The award, valued at £547,331.91, was announced on 2nd October 2025, with the initial awarding on 2nd September 2025. The contract will commence on 15th September 2025 and conclude on 13th April 2030.

This contract presents opportunities for growth particularly for transport operators due to its scope in taxi services across wide geographies. Despite being unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs as per the entry restrictions, medium to large enterprises with robust capabilities in providing cost-efficient and scalable transport solutions are well-positioned to compete. Engaging with such a long-term government contract can bolster a supplier's experience and credentials, facilitating future opportunities within similar public procurement frameworks.
