Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has successfully concluded the tendering process for taxi services under the title "Phase 3B - SSTD1428 - 10/12/25". The industry category involved is taxi services, specifically classified under CPV code 60120000. This procurement, using a selective and restricted procedure, took place in the region of Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom, with deliveries extending to areas including the Channel Islands, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. The procurement stage currently reported is the 'Award' phase, with the contract awarded on 23 January 2026 to Gilberts of Chesham. The tender period concluded on 23 December 2025, and the contract is active starting 23 February 2026, lasting until 23 February 2030, offering significant engagement over the coming years.

This award provides substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those capable of offering competitive pricing per mile as required in the tender terms. The selective procedure adopted by Buckinghamshire Council favours established businesses with the capability to handle extensive geographic service delivery, including areas beyond mainland United Kingdom. Despite the restriction against SMEs and VCSEs, larger businesses in the transport sector can benefit from this contract to expand their geographic footprint and solidify their presence in regions covered by the contract. Companies with established logistics and operational capacity, like Gilberts of Chesham, which successfully secured the contract, are ideal candidates for such procurement opportunities.
