Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council procured taxi transport services for Phase 5B, under a requirement identified as CPV 60120000. The work is for transport operators providing journeys charged at a price per mile, in line with the competition’s terms and conditions. Delivery is associated with Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and the wider United Kingdom, with the procurement record also referring broadly to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, British Overseas Territories, Europe and elsewhere. The buying organisation is Buckinghamshire Council, through its e-tendering system. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is therefore relevant to taxi firms and other passenger transport operators able to deliver the required journeys and comply with the council’s route and operating requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a selective restricted procedure. Bids closed on 7 April 2026 at 12 noon. The contract was awarded on 29 May 2026 to The Taxi People Ltd for £70,227. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 May 2031. Evaluation required bidders to submit a price per mile, as set out in the competition terms and conditions. The recorded award is active and covers the taxi services requirement as a single procurement item. The contract is not identified as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots or alternative awardees are recorded.

This award shows established demand from Buckinghamshire Council for outsourced taxi transport delivered on a price-per-mile basis over a substantial operating period. The relevant competitor would be a transport operator with suitable taxi or passenger-transport vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to provide reliable journeys across the council’s required routes and locations. Credible preparation would include building a clear per-mile pricing model, understanding route-specific operating costs, and maintaining the administrative and scheduling capability needed for council work. Because the procurement was run as a restricted procedure and was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, future competitors should be prepared for a formal qualification process and demonstrate sufficient scale, resilience and contract-management capability for a council-wide requirement.
