Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-Tendering System based in Aylesbury, has completed the contracting process for a procurement titled "Phase 3D - SMIS1404 - 19/01/26 - AWARD" within the taxi services industry category. This procurement process followed a restricted procedure under the selective method. Covering multiple locations including the United Kingdom and other regions such as British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands, the contract period began on 13th April 2026 and will run until 12th April 2030. The procurement award was active on 19th March 2026, with a final award value of £86,547.96 GBP. Key dates included the tender period end on 3rd February 2026.

This tender offers significant business growth opportunities for transport service providers, particularly those with the capability to deliver efficient and reliable taxi services across a broad geographic area. Large-scale transportation businesses with experience in managing contracts across international locations would find this opportunity particularly advantageous. Whilst smaller SMEs or VCSEs were deemed less suitable due to the scale and spread of the required service, established providers like Neales Taxis Limited, the awarded supplier, exemplify the sort of organisation well-prepared to meet the contract’s demands. The detailed requirements, defined pricing model per mile, and comprehensive geographical scope require a provider experienced in logistical complexities and able to leverage economies of scale.
