Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has concluded the procurement process for their Phase 3B taxi services contract, titled "SHHS3406 - 08/12/25 - AWARD" under the CPV classification of taxi services. The contract, awarded to Neales Taxis Limited, spans from 23 February 2026 to 23 February 2030, covering diverse locations including the United Kingdom and international territories such as the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The procurement was conducted using a restrictive procedure, suitable for established service providers, and reached the award stage on 21 January 2026 with a contract value of £117,881.40. The tender process initiated with an invitation for a competition document, requiring transport operators to submit a price per mile as per terms outlined in the competition documentation.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for taxi service providers familiar with an extensive service area and capable of handling long-term contracts. Although the procurement process was selective, the scope of work involved will likely benefit established businesses with the necessary infrastructure to operate both domestically and internationally. While not specifically tailored to SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises with experience in transport services are best suited to meet the demands of this contract. Businesses looking to expand their presence in the regions of the procurement can leverage this contract to fortify their market position and establish a four-year collaboration with a public sector body.
