Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process titled "Summer Operations Week 4 - SFUR3401 - 21/08/2025 (WAV) - AWARD" was completed by Buckinghamshire Council using a restricted procedure. This opportunity falls within the taxi services industry, classified under CPV code 60120000. The procurement process involved selective methods and covered services for a broad geographical area, including the United Kingdom and several other regions like British Overseas Territories and Channel Islands. The tender process closed on 26 August 2025, with a contract period from 1 September 2025 to 1 December 2030. The award was published on 1 October 2025, with Express Travel being the contracted supplier, and the award valued at £142,595.24. Karl Miles served as the contact point for Buckinghamshire Council.

This tender represents a substantial business growth opportunity for those in the transport sector, specifically taxi service providers that can offer competitive pricing and meet tender requirements. Although the procurement favoured larger firms, SMEs with robust service capabilities in extensive areas could also find opportunities in similar tenders. With a contract running over five years, stable revenue streams for the contract duration are possible. Businesses engaged in logistics and transportation services, particularly those with experience in tender processes and large-scale service delivery, would be well-suited for such opportunities.
