Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through their e-Tendering System, recently concluded a public procurement process for taxi services, detailed as "SCWW1401 - AWARD" with a focus on a selective, restricted procedure. This process reached the award stage, with Abba Cars HW Ltd emerging as the supplier. The contract's value is approximately £124,505.66, covering a service period from 1st June 2025 to 1st December 2030. The tender was centered around various locations, including the United Kingdom and other specified regions, with key dates including the tender period closing on 3rd April 2025 and the award being published on 22nd July 2025. This procurement falls under the services category, specifically coded as "60120000" in the CPV classification, highlighting taxi services.

This procurement opens avenues for further developments within the transport services sector, particularly for businesses offering competitive pricing models per route mile. Companies specialising in taxi services or those capable of broad regional coverage would have found this opportunity highly beneficial. However, due to the nature of the procurement method—a selective, restricted procedure—it would not have been suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, ensuring competition was likely oriented towards established service providers capable of fulfilling large-scale, long-term contracts.
