Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "FTUR1801 - AWARD" was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council - e-Tendering System, based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom. This tender was concentrated in the taxi services category, identified under the "services" industry classification with CPV code 60120000. The selective procurement was executed through a restricted procedure, and the contract was awarded on 12th January 2026. It covers multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and other regions such as the British Oversea Territories and Europe. The procurement is complete, and the contract period extends from 12th January 2026 to 1st January 2028, with a final tender submission deadline of 29th December 2025.

This awarded contract presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those specialising in taxi services that can offer competitive pricing strategies. Though GK Travel Ltd was the awarded supplier, similar businesses capable of fulfilling such service requirements should be well positioned to compete in future similar tenders. Companies with experience in international service provision across diverse geographical locations, such as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man, would find growth potential in such public sector procurements. The procurement was structured to suit more established companies, given that neither SMEs nor VCSEs were identified as suitability targets.
