Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process under the title "SBSR1501 - AWARD" was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through their e-Tendering System, based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom. The procurement falls under the industry category of "Taxi services" and involves a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The tender process was recently in the award stage, with the contract awarded on 30th April 2025. The tender period ended on 28th April 2025, and the contract period is set to commence on 2nd May 2025, lasting until 30th March 2030. The services will be delivered primarily within the United Kingdom, extending to locations such as the Channel Islands and British Overseas Territories.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses within the transportation sector, particularly those specializing in taxi services. Companies with experience in operating within the locales specified, such as the UK and various overseas territories, stand to benefit from this long-term contract. Although the procurement method was selective, indicating that competition may have been limited, the successful award to The Taxi People Ltd highlights the potential for businesses to secure growth by meeting the specific requirements and conditions set by the council. Firms well-established in the provision of consistent, reliable, and cost-effective taxi services are ideal candidates for such future opportunities.
