Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process is conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through their e-Tendering System. It involves the award of a contract titled "Phase 3B - SHHS1402" for taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The procurement process is in the award stage, with significant activity occurring on 21 January 2026 when the contract was actively awarded to AUK Airport Service Ltd. The contract period runs from 16 March 2026 to 23 February 2030, covering locations in the United Kingdom and wider regions including Europe and British Overseas Territories. The procurement method employed was selective, specifically through a restricted procedure, ending the tender process on 22 December 2025.

This procurement presents opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, particularly taxi service providers, to expand their services across multiple regions in Europe, including high-demand areas like airports. While the awarded contract is not aimed at SMEs or VCSEs, larger businesses equipped with a robust fleet and competitive pricing per mile are well-suited to fulfil the requirements of such a contract. Enterprises with international operational capabilities and interest in expanding their service footprint into global territories may find similar opportunities through Buckinghamshire Council's selective procurement methods.
