Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has completed the award stage for the procurement titled "Summer Operations Week 6 - SOMS1502 - 01/09/2025", focusing on taxi services in various locations, including the United Kingdom and other territories. The procurement was conducted through a selective, restricted procedure, which concluded with an award to THE TAXI PEOPLE LTD. The contract runs from 4th September 2025 to 13th April 2030, with an awarded value of £68,811.83. The procurement was initially set in motion to find suitable transport operators who could bid per mile as per the terms outlined in the competition documentation, and all clarifications were handled via the In-tend portal.

This contract represents a substantial opportunity for businesses specialising in taxi services to broaden their operational footprint across multiple regions. Those particularly adept at providing competitive pricing and reliable service may find this kind of tender beneficial for long-term growth. Despite its completion, businesses with similar capabilities should remain alert to future opportunities that Buckinghamshire Council may present, thereby potentially gaining access to a significant market through the council’s e-Tendering System. The selective nature of the procurement suggests a focus on attracting highly qualified suppliers, particularly those with a strong track record in the transport industry.
