Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-Tendering System, has completed the procurement process for the provision of taxi services, specifically minibus rentals, under the contract titled "SBPS3404 - AWARD." This tender falls within the services industry category and was conducted using a restricted procedure procurement method. Based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom, the council sought bids for routes servicing locations such as the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and the United Kingdom. The award stage was documented as completed on 14 July 2025, with the contract period set from 2 June 2025 to 1 December 2030. The tender ended on 3 April 2025, requiring transport operators to submit competitive pricing per mile for consideration.

This tender offers substantial growth opportunities for businesses, particularly those with expertise in providing reliable and cost-effective transport solutions. Given the scope and geographic coverage, businesses experienced in logistics within the aforementioned locations could capitalise on the recurring service demands. However, it is worth noting that businesses categorised as SMEs or VCSEs may not have been highlighted as suitable for this contract. Nevertheless, companies like Bucks Minibus Travel, trading as Swan Rider, demonstrate that established transport operators are well-positioned to leverage their assets and expertise to gain advantage and secure lucrative service contracts in the public sector.
