Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has awarded a contract under the title "SBEC1401 - AWARD" for taxi services, classified under the CPV code 60120000. The procurement process followed a selective method, utilizing a restricted procedure. Key dates for this contract included the tender period ending on 10th April 2025 and an active award made on 2nd May 2025. The contract will commence on 1st June 2025 and run until 1st December 2030. The services will primarily operate from Aylesbury, with delivery scopes extending to international locations such as British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and globally.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses involved in the taxi service industry to collaborate with a council with a substantial contract value of £52,552.23. However, as the buyer does not prioritise small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), larger taxi companies or those with extensive logistical capabilities would be more suited to benefit. The awarded supplier, The Taxi People Ltd, located in Aylesbury, indicates the council's preference for reliable and experienced service providers within the region to ensure efficient service delivery and compliance with stipulated contract terms.
