Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process facilitated by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System involves the provision of taxi services under title "Phase 3A - SCHI1403 - 01/12/25 - AWARD." This contract falls within the services category, specifically under CPV code 60120000, which denotes taxi services. The process employed a selective procurement method, adhering to a restricted procedure. The geographic scope includes areas such as the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and others, ensuring wide-reaching service provision. The award stage of the procurement was concluded on 23rd January 2026, with the contract period commencing on 23rd February 2026 and ending on 23rd February 2030. The total contract value awarded to Budget Cars Ltd was £85,344, highlighting a significant opportunity for the supplier involved.

This tender presents substantial business growth potential, primarily for established taxi service providers that can navigate competitive pricing and compliance within the outlined terms. Utilising a restricted procedure facilitates competition among selected suppliers, ensuring efficient service delivery. Although the contract does not currently favour SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with comprehensive service capabilities and robust geographical operational reach are well-suited to compete. Consequently, firms looking to expand their footprint across the specified locations and to secure long-term commitments would find this procurement opportunity beneficial to their strategic growth objectives. The framework laid out by Buckinghamshire Council allows seasoned service providers to reinforce their market presence through structured service agreements.
