Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process led by Buckinghamshire Council has reached the Award stage concerning taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The process culminated on 27 April 2026, with Budget Cars Ltd as the awarded supplier, following a selective and restricted procedure. The contract, valued at GBP 106,763.17, will commence on 13 April 2026 and extend until 22 February 2030. The procurement is designed to cover diverse locations, including the United Kingdom and various international territories, as outlined in the tender. The initial call for competition required transport operators to submit a price per mile, adhering to set terms and conditions up until the tender period ended on 31 March 2026.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in taxi services, particularly those equipped to handle multifaceted transport requirements across the stipulated regions. While the procurement method was selective, open to competitive bid submissions, the existing award to Budget Cars Ltd highlights demand within public sector transport services. As the main procurement category focuses on services, organisations experienced in logistics and transport services, with robust operational capabilities, can gain significant growth and partnerships through potential future tenders with Buckinghamshire Council.
