Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, led by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System, has reached the award stage for the "Summer Operations Week 5 - SBPS1430" project, involving taxi services (CPV: 60120000). The contract was successfully awarded following a selective procedure under the restricted method. This initiative, located in Aylesbury, incorporates services across various regions including the British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, and the United Kingdom. The initial tender period concluded on 1st September 2025, subsequently leading to an active contract commencing on 3rd September 2025, with a projected end date of 1st December 2030. The contract award to Express Travel was publicly announced on 2nd October 2025, with a contract value of £65,905.41.

This tender presents robust opportunities for transportation service providers, particularly those specialising in taxi services, to align with long-term municipal contracts and potentially expand operations beyond local boundaries into broader markets such as Europe and the UK regions. Companies adept in logistical management and offering competitive pricing strategies per mile would find this contract advantageous. While suitability for small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) was not prioritised, larger or established service providers in the transportation sector stand to benefit greatly by leveraging expertise in large-scale, multi-region operations.
