Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process, initiated by Buckinghamshire Council using their e-Tendering System, focuses on taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The contract, titled "SPAR1413 - AWARD," covers an extensive geographical range including the UK and beyond. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, with an active contract awarded to AUK AIRPORT SERVICE LTD on 2 May 2025, valued at GBP 85,549.64. The contract period is set from 1 June 2025 until 1 December 2030. Although the initial tender period ended on 3 April 2025, these strategic transport services align with Buckinghamshire Council's regional priorities and offer potential for future collaborations.

The opportunity presents considerable business growth avenues for transport operators capable of servicing broad locations, including British Overseas Territories and continental Europe. The procurement method utilised is a selective approach through a restricted procedure, indicating a targeted selection process for qualified providers. Although suitability does not favour SMEs or VCSE organisations, established businesses with the logistical infrastructure to handle extensive taxi service requirements should consider similar future tenders to expand their operations and clientele, leveraging this as a model for international service coverage. The awarded contract highlights opportunities for building partnerships and expanding geographical reach in transport services.
