Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has recently completed its procurement process under a restrictive procedure for the provision of taxi services, with Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd t/a Cabs4U being awarded the contract. The process, identified as IT-654-278-COM-CT-000278 - AWARD, concluded with an active award on 28th May 2025, with a contract period set to commence from 2nd June 2025 and concluding on 1st December 2030. The tender was classified under the CPV code 60120000, indicating its alignment with taxi services, and covered delivery across a broad geographic region including the United Kingdom and several international territories.

This contract presents significant opportunities for growth within the transport sector, particularly for businesses specialising in taxi or private hire services capable of operating on a larger scale. The selective procurement method indicates a competitive but closed process, ideal for suppliers who can meet specific, potentially rigorous selection criteria. While this specific tender does not favour SMEs or VCSEs, businesses with established track records serving extensive geographic areas or having the capacity to offer competitive pricing per mile should consider pursuing future opportunities of this nature with Buckinghamshire Council.
