Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council via their e-Tendering System. The tender titled "SPAR3408 - AWARD" pertains to the "Taxi services" industry, with the Common Procurement Vocabulary (CPV) classification code 60120000. The procurement method used was a selective approach under a restricted procedure format. The process has reached the award stage, with the award being completed on 2nd May 2025. The service location covers various areas, including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The contract period is set to commence on 1st June 2025 and will conclude on 1st December 2030, marking a significant long-term engagement between the involved parties.

This contractual opportunity is particularly beneficial for businesses experienced in providing taxi services that can competitively manage logistics over extended geographical areas. With a total contract value of £135,391.41 and a multi-year commitment, it presents a substantial potential for growth and expansion. While the process was not marked as particularly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, other established transport service providers with operational capacity across the specified regions are well-positioned to undertake such projects, amplifying their market presence. The successful supplier, identified as GK TRAVEL LTD, demonstrates the kind of business that can take advantage of these opportunities, suggesting a precedent for well-organised and well-resourced transport operators.
