Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, titled "Phase 3B - SSTD1413 - 10/12/25", has been completed under the management of Buckinghamshire Council, using its e-Tendering System. This contract falls under the taxi services industry, classified by CPV id 60120000, and encompasses various delivery locations including the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, Rest of the World, and United Kingdom, with a particular focus on regions like Aylesbury, HP19 8FF. The procurement process utilised a restricted procedure, a selective method, and commenced with a tender followed by an award on 21 January 2026. The contract period spans from 23 February 2026 to 23 February 2030. Although the tender period ended on 23 December 2025, clarifications were managed through the In-tend portal, with Karl Miles serving as the contact point for the buyer.

This tender offers substantial business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in taxi and private hire services. While Buckinghamshire Council directly awards this contract, businesses not classified as small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find this opportunity highly suited. Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd, trading as Cabs4U, was the successful supplier, securing a contract valued at £66,290.95. Organisations positioned to deliver competitive pricing per mile, especially those with a presence or operational capability across varied geographic locations, are well suited to compete for similar future procurements.
