Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through their e-Tendering System, has successfully concluded the award phase of a procurement process titled "Phase 3A - SMAP3413 - 1/12/25". This process falls under the taxi services category, classified under CPV code 60120000 and involves delivery across numerous areas including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other territories. The award was officially published on 22nd April 2026, with the contract commencing on 23rd February 2026 and running until 23rd February 2030. The procurement was carried out using a selective, restricted procedure, leading to a contract award valued at £86,447.38, decided on 23rd January 2026, to Neales Taxis Limited.

This contract presents substantial growth opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation and taxi services, particularly those with experience in large-scale operations across multiple regions. Despite the restricted procedure possibly limiting entry for new participants, companies with a robust logistics network can leverage this contract to enhance service delivery in diverse geographical areas. Neales Taxis Limited, the successful supplier, demonstrates the capability and industry expertise beneficial in this procurement. As the process did not focus on suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, established entities within the taxi sector are ideal contenders for similar opportunities.
