Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Buckinghamshire Council, titled "Phase 3C - SCHS1501 - 14/01/26 - AWARD," pertains to the taxi services industry (CPV code 60120000). This process is categorised under services and employs a selective method described as a restricted procedure. Buckinghamshire Council, located at The Gateway, Gatehouse Road, Aylesbury, has concluded the award stage as of 27th April 2026, with key deadlines including the end of the tender period on 29th January 2026 and the contract scheduled to run from 13th April 2026 through to 12th April 2030. This initiative serves multiple regions including the United Kingdom and oversees territories.

This contract offers substantial opportunities for transport operators specialising in taxi services. Businesses capable of providing competitive pricing per mile, as per the defined terms, stand to benefit from the long-term engagement and potential networking with local authorities. While the procurement is less suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger taxi service providers like Crown Cabs Travel Ltd, which has been awarded the contract, exemplify the type of business poised for growth through involvement in this public service endeavour. As Buckinghamshire Council orchestrates this sizeable contract, it paves the way for expanding service reach across numerous geographic locales.
