Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, through its e-Tendering System, has completed the procurement process titled "CAYL1603 - 07/01/26 - AWARD" for taxi services. This contract pertains to a procurement stage marked as "award," with significant dates including the tender's completion on 9th January 2026, the award occurrence on 12th January 2026, and the contract initiation on 13th January 2026, running through to 23rd February 2028. The restricted procedure, a type of selective procurement method, was used in this process. The services span multiple locations including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and abroad, with the industry's main classification under CPV 60120000 related to taxi services.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation and logistics, particularly those adept at providing taxi services across multiple regions. Given the scope and the contracted value of GBP 33,396.19, the tender could facilitate business growth for companies prepared to bid on similar future projects. However, the current award has been secured by GK Travel Ltd, suggesting that firms must be competitive and ready to match or exceed the standards set forth by the awarded supplier. This procurement is less suited for small and medium enterprises or voluntary community and social enterprises, given the nature of the selective process and the Council's preferences.
