Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-Tendering System, has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of taxi services. The tender, titled "SCWB1404 - AWARD", falls under the industry category of services with a specific focus on taxi services as classified under CPV code 60120000. The procurement process followed a restricted procedure method, a form of selective procurement. This contract, awarded to ABC Taxis 247 Limited, involves service coverage across several locations, including the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the British Overseas Territories, Isle of Man, and more. The award was finalised on 2nd May 2025, and the contract is set to commence on 1st June 2025, running until 1st December 2030.

This procurement presents a growth opportunity for businesses involved in the transportation sector, particularly those specialising in taxi services. While the contract was awarded to ABC Taxis 247 Limited, similar businesses with the capability to efficiently manage logistics across various regions could benefit from such tenders in the future. The structured procurement process favours businesses that are well-prepared and can demonstrate competitive pricing, particularly price-per-mile offerings specified in the tender terms. Although this instance did not highlight opportunities specifically tailored for SMEs or VCSEs, businesses should stay vigilant for potential adjustments in suitability criteria in future procurements from Buckinghamshire Council.
