Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating via its e-Tendering System, recently concluded a procurement process titled "Summer Operations Week 3 - SLVS1501 - 12/08/2025 - AWARD" in the taxi services category, classified under CPV code 60120000. This tender process, using a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, covered delivery addresses spanning the United Kingdom and several other regions. The tender had a deadline on 19th August 2025, with the contract period set from 1st September 2025 to 13th April 2030. The procurement has reached the award stage, with The Taxi People Ltd being the selected supplier, following an award notice published on 25th September 2025.

This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transport operations, especially those with a focus on taxi services. Due to the competitive nature of the restricted procedure, businesses with a strong track record in cost-efficient and reliable transport services would have been well-poised to excel in this process. Despite its unsuitability for SMEs and VCSEs, larger enterprises in the transport sector can benefit from long-term engagements like this, potentially reinforcing and expanding their presence in the public sector market across multiple locations, enhancing business growth opportunities.
