Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for taxi services has been successfully concluded by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System, with Neales Taxis Limited being awarded the contract. This tender, titled "Phase 3B - SSTD1432 - 10/12/25 - AWARD," is classified under the industry category of taxi services (CPV 60120000), and involves services within the United Kingdom and potentially British Overseas Territories and Channel Islands. The procurement, which followed a selective and restricted procedure, reached its award stage on 23 January 2026, with the contract period set from 23 February 2026 to 23 February 2030.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly taxi operators capable of fulfilling the requirements as outlined in the tender documentation. While small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were noted as unsuitable for this specific contract, larger taxi service providers with experience in mileage-based pricing could find ample opportunity for growth. The contract holds substantial value at £85,697.57, providing a stable business opportunity aligned with public sector demand.
