Summary of the contracting process

This contracting process was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council - e-Tendering System and pertains to the taxi services industry, classified under CPV code 60120000. The contract, titled "SWAD1404 - 12/11/2025 - AWARD," follows a selective procurement method using a restricted procedure. The tendering process was completed, and the award was issued on 18th November 2025. The contract period begins on 21st November 2025 and extends until 1st December 2030. The services are required in multiple locations, including the United Kingdom and other regions like the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. Karl Miles can be contacted for enquiries at Buckinghamshire Council's office in Aylesbury.

This award presents significant opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, particularly those specialising in taxi services. While the procurement was a restricted process, the award to R And S Travel Ltd, valued at £41,918.27, highlights the demand for established companies with the capacity to fulfill long-term service contracts. Companies seeking to expand in regions where the contract services are required may find similar future opportunities beneficial. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not the focus of this specific procurement, indicating opportunities may better suit larger operators or those already having a robust regional presence.
