Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process involves Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System, seeking taxi services classified under industry code CPV 60120000. This stage of the process is in the award phase, with Neales Taxis Limited selected as the supplier on 23rd January 2026. The service contract base is in Aylesbury, UK, extending worldwide to regions including the Channel Islands, and British Overseas Territories. The procurement method followed a restricted procedure, indicating selective bidding. Key dates include the tender ending on 15th December 2025 and the contract lasting from 23rd February 2026 to 23rd February 2030. The total value of the contract awarded amounts to £117,052.34.

This tender presents a substantial opportunity for businesses in the transport sector, particularly those offering taxi services across various regions, to expand their market presence. Although not specifically targeting SMEs or VCSEs, larger transport operators with the ability to service international locations could greatly benefit from this contract. The restricted procurement process necessitates that businesses capable of meeting selective criteria and competitive pricing per mile partake for potential growth and partnership with a prominent council authority like Buckinghamshire Council.
