Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has completed an award for the procurement process titled "Phase 3B - SHHS3402 - 08/12/25 - AWARD," under the industry category of taxi services. The council operates from Aylesbury, United Kingdom and utilised a selective procurement method, specifically a restricted procedure. The tender reached the award stage on 21st January 2026, ahead of the contract period commencing on 23rd February 2026 and concluding on 23rd February 2030.

This significant contract opportunity, valued at approximately £108,745.02, has been awarded to GK Travel Ltd, highlighting a lucrative option for businesses within the transport services sector. It offers substantial long-term growth prospects, particularly for larger enterprises due to the contract's explicit non-suitability for SMEs and VCSEs.
