Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council conducted a public procurement process titled "Summer Operations - CTBW1601 - 24/09/2025 - AWARD" focused on taxi services (CPV code 60120000). The procurement falls within the services category and employs a selective method, specifically using a restricted procedure. Located in Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, the procurement process has been completed, with the official award date published on 15th October 2025. The contract commences on 1st October 2025 and continues until 23rd February 2028, covering various regions, including the United Kingdom and other locations such as British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the Rest of the World, with the tender period having ended on 26th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the taxi services sector, particularly those capable of managing logistics and operations across multiple regions. Although the procurement was restricted, meaning only selected operators could bid, the successful award to Neales Taxis Limited demonstrates an opportunity for providers already familiar with or equipped to handle large-scale operations. As such, well-established taxi operators with competitive pricing strategies and the ability to offer diversified regional coverage stand to gain from similar future opportunities fostered by local governmental projects like this one.
