Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process managed by Buckinghamshire Council - e-Tendering System has recently concluded the awarding stage for the contract titled "SPEB1414 - AWARD," focusing on the taxi services industry. This selective procurement used a restricted procedure and engaged transport operators to provide competitive bids based on a price per mile, as detailed in the call for competition terms. The procurement concerns numerous locations, including the United Kingdom and additional international regions such as Europe and the Channel Islands. The tender period ended on 10th April 2025, with the contract commencing on 1st June 2025 and concluding on 1st December 2030. The award, valued at £146,902.64, was published on 4th September 2025, marking the transition from the tender stage to the active contract phase.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transportation, particularly those offering taxi or mini-bus services. The contract’s span across various regions and its substantial duration of over five years are ideal for businesses looking to establish a long-term presence in the specified locales. However, the procurement method indicates that only those capable of navigating a restricted procedure should attempt to tender, ideally larger corporations given the unsuitability for SMEs or VCSEs. Businesses with strong logistical capabilities and competitive pricing strategies will find this an excellent chance to expand their service offerings under a structured, long-term contract with a reputable council.
