Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has completed the procurement process for Phase 3C - SCHS1505 concerning taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The contract spans from April 2026 to April 2030 and involves transport operations primarily within the United Kingdom and various other regions. The tender process employed a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. Although the tender period concluded in January 2026, the award was officially activated in March 2026, reflecting a structured timeline for suppliers. The buyer and contracting authority for this process was Buckinghamshire Council, located in Aylesbury, UK, with Karl Miles serving as the contact point.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses specialising in taxi and transport services to expand through a long-term engagement. Suitable for established companies, rather than SMEs or VCSEs, the contract offers a substantial framework for growth, with an awarded value of £74,706.48. Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd, known as Cabs4U, was successful in securing the contract, indicating that companies with experience in competitive bidding and efficient transport solutions hold an advantage. The procurement process is tailored for businesses adept at handling structured tender submissions, as bidders were required to submit pricing per mile, ensuring competitive and transparent pricing structures.
