The process has reached the award stage, and the contract has been awarded to Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider. This procurement pertains to the category of Taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The services are expected to be delivered across various locations, including the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, and other specified regions. The restricted procedure method was employed, indicating a selective procurement strategy. The tender period concluded on 3rd April 2025, with the contract scheduled to commence on 1st June 2025 and conclude on 1st December 2030. The total contract value is £192,651.28, and the award was published on 14th August 2025.

This tender presents significant opportunities for transport service providers looking to expand their operations within the specified regions, particularly those specialising in taxi and minibus services. Companies with established operations and experience in providing tailored transport solutions across different territories would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future. The selective procurement method suggests that a competitive edge could be gained through demonstrating capability and previous experience in fulfilling complex transport services requirements. Though this specific tender does not prioritise SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with the capacity to deliver large-scale services are likely to find rewarding prospects within such publicly funded projects.
