Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council is procuring taxi transport services for journeys associated with its operations. The requirement is for transport operators to provide taxi services, with pricing based on a price per mile. Delivery is centred on Aylesbury, Buckinghamshire, and the stated coverage includes the United Kingdom, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and other international destinations. The service is classified under CPV 60120000 and falls within the services category. The buying organisation is Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-tendering system. The requirement concerns the provision of passenger transport rather than vehicles, construction or equipment, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and transport companies able to provide journeys across the specified coverage.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded through a restricted procedure. The award date was 18 November 2025. R And S Travel Ltd was selected for an award of £41,918.27, inclusive of the stated GBP currency, for the period from 21 November 2025 to 1 December 2030. The original tender deadline was 18 November 2025 at 12:00 UTC. The competition required operators to submit a price per mile, with clarifications handled through the council’s electronic tendering portal. The award is active and covers the full stated taxi transport requirement. The tender recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

Although this contract has already been awarded, it demonstrates established demand from Buckinghamshire Council for taxi transport delivered through a formal restricted procedure. A credible future competitor would need to operate as a professional transport provider, price journeys consistently on a per-mile basis and demonstrate the practical capacity to provide reliable passenger services across the required locations. The winning supplier was a transport business based in Aylesbury, indicating the relevance of local operating knowledge alongside the ability to meet the council’s wider coverage. The procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community or social enterprises, so larger or established operators may be better placed to compete for a comparable requirement.
