Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has completed a procurement process titled "SSHF1401 - 28/10/2025 - AWARD," under the industry category of taxi services. A selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure, was used. The initial tender period ended on 30th October 2025, with the contract commencing on 31st October 2025 and extending until 13th April 2030. The award for this contract went to GK Travel Ltd, with a total value of £14,354.57, and the award was officially published on 13th November 2025. The services are primarily set to be delivered in the United Kingdom, including regions such as the British Oversea Territories and Channel Islands.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those offering competitive pricing per mile. GK Travel Ltd's success in securing the award highlights potential for growth in regional and international transport markets. Although this contract was not marked as suitable for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), innovative transport companies with robust service frameworks could leverage similar opportunities to expand their operational footprint within the taxi services industry. Given the scope across various geographical regions, businesses capable of scaling operations to meet diverse logistical needs stand to gain considerably from participating in similar procurement processes.
