Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through the e-Tendering System centred on the awarding of a contract for taxi services under the title "SCWP1432 - AWARD." This process, classified under the CPV code 60120000, involved a restricted procedure indicating a selective procurement method. The award was concluded on 5th May 2025, with the contract set to run from 1st May 2025 to 1st December 2030. The contract services extend to locations including the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, Isle of Man, Europe, and the Rest of the World. Businesses had until 3rd April 2025 to submit their tender, which required pricing per mile in compliance with the call for competition standards.

This tender presents an opportunity primarily for established transport operators with a base in or focus on the servicing regions as their operational scope covers extensive geographical locations. The award to Bucks Minibus Travel, trading as Swan Rider, emphasises the potential for such services to capture further market share by incorporating competitive pricing models, possibly aiding transport providers in enhancing their client base and increasing capacity. The contract's extensive duration underscores the importance of long-term strategic planning for service providers looking to engage in similar public contracts.
