Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council via the e-Tendering System, with the title "Phase 3A - SWFS1404 - 27/11/25 - AWARD," focusing on the taxi services sector within the services industry. The restricted procedure was used, marking a selective procurement method. Though the tender period ended on 11th December 2025, it has reached the award stage as of 9th April 2026. The contract commenced on 23rd February 2026 and is set to end on 23rd February 2030. Geographically, the tender includes locations across the United Kingdom and extends to international regions such as the British Overseas Territories, the Channel Islands, Europe, the Isle of Man, and the rest of the world.

This tender primarily presents growth opportunities for established businesses like Budget Cars Ltd, the awarded supplier. The contract, valued at £94,838.52, covers a comprehensive transport service over a four-year period, offering long-term stability for businesses specialised in taxi or related transport services. With a focus on a significant geographical spread, firms with capacity for extensive operations would be well-suited for similar future contracts. However, this opportunity might not be the ideal match for SMEs or VCSEs as specified in the suitability criteria.
