Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council, titled "SBPS1406 - AWARD," focuses on the provision of taxi services, classified under the industry category CPV 60120000. This selective procurement utilised a restricted procedure, targeting a range of locations, including the United Kingdom and other international destinations such as Europe and the British Oversea Territories. The tendering stage had been completed by 3rd April 2025, with the contract later awarded to R And S Travel Ltd. The contract start date was set for 1st June 2025, extending until 1st December 2030, and the award status is currently marked as active. Key document notices were published on 17th June 2025, ensuring transparency and compliance with public procurement practices.

This tender presents significant opportunities for growth within the transportation sector, particularly for businesses equipped to deliver comprehensive taxi services. As the award was granted through a restricted procedure, it suggests that participation was limited to those meeting specific eligibility criteria, although it is noted that the opportunity was not specifically aimed at SMEs or VCSE organisations. Businesses with expertise in long-term transport operations, capable of delivering high-quality, reliable services across diverse and extensive geographical areas, would have been well-suited to compete in this procurement process. The contract's substantial value, totalling £115,222.06, further underscores the potential for profitability and market expansion for the successful supplier.
