Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process undertaken by Buckinghamshire Council - e-Tendering System involves a selective tender method focused on taxi services. The contract, titled "Phase 3A - SCHI1401", has been awarded and is scheduled to commence on 23rd February 2026, running until 23rd February 2030. The industry classification for this tender falls under CPV code 60120000, which pertains to taxi services. Key locations for the service delivery include various territories such as the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and British Overseas Territories. This procurement has reached the award stage, with Neales Taxis Limited named as the supplier. The initial tender was closed on 15th December 2025, with the award notice published on 25th April 2026.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses specialising in transport services, particularly those with expertise in providing taxi services across multiple regions, including urban and broader geographical scales. It offers a substantial contract value of £88,931.50, making it attractive for larger companies that can perform consistently across the stipulated locations. The involvement of Buckinghamshire Council suggests that businesses with established connections or previous experience with governmental tenders may have a competitive edge. Given the restrictive nature of the procurement method, only pre-qualified bidders able to meet these specific requirements were considered, presenting an advantageous opportunity for well-positioned transport operators to enhance their influence and presence within the public sector procurement landscape.
