Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating the e-Tendering System, has completed the procurement process for the provision of taxi services titled "Summer Operations - SBCS1401- 02/10/2025 - AWARD". The procurement was conducted through a selective method using a restricted procedure. This contract, valued at £65,235.39, was awarded to The Taxi People Ltd on 7th October 2025. The contract period spans from 13th October 2025 to 1st December 2030, covering various locations including the United Kingdom and other territories. This award notice was published on 5th November 2025. The industry classification for this tender is under CPV code 60120000, which relates to taxi services.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those capable of offering competitive pricing per mile, as highlighted in the competition terms. As the project aligns with services suited for larger enterprises given the contract scale and length, SMEs or VCSE organisations may find limited direct suitability. Businesses seeking to expand their reach across multiple regions, including international territories, would find collaboration under this long-term contract viable. Engaging with regional authorities like Buckinghamshire Council can foster growth through sustained service delivery and potential leveraging of local transportation networks.
