Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, led by Buckinghamshire Council via the e-Tendering System, has reached the award stage, with the contract titled "Summer Operations Week 6 - SBAS1503 - 04/09/2025" focusing on taxi services. This contract, using a restricted procedure method, covers services across multiple regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and Europe. The tender period concluded on 8th September 2025, and the contract will run from 11th September 2025 to 13th April 2030. With a significant contract value of £94,856.72, this procurement offers a substantial opportunity for service providers in the transportation sector.

This contract presents a growth opportunity for established businesses in the taxi services industry, particularly those with the capability to operate across the various regions specified in the tender. Although the procurement process was selective, it signifies the importance of pricing strategies, as bids required the submission of a price per mile. While the tender prioritises established businesses over SMEs and voluntary sector organisations, it highlights the potential for large-scale service providers with extensive geographic coverage to expand their operations and increase service delivery efficiency.
