Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for taxi services labelled as Phase 3B - SSTD1434 was managed by Buckinghamshire Council and has reached the award stage. Buckinghamshire Council employed a selective procurement method referred to as a restricted procedure in line with CPV classification 60120000. The services were destined for various locations including Europe and the United Kingdom. The tender title, Phase 3B - SSTD1434 - AWARD, delineates the pathway for competition participation and necessitates transport operators to submit pricing per mile. The contract period started on 23rd February 2026 and will end on 23rd February 2030, following the tender period, which concluded on 23rd December 2025.

This tender offers growth opportunities particularly for transportation providers capable of delivering competitive pricing with robust service reliability across diverse geographical areas. Although unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary organisations, larger scale businesses in logistics and transport can benefit from the substantial contract value of £92,171.52. The buyer, Buckinghamshire Council, seeks capable suppliers, resulting in an active award to Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider, indicating a strategic engagement focus where adept companies can leverage Buckinghamshire Council's infrastructural expansion to augment their service footprint in the region.
