Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process, titled "Summer Operations - CACL1502 - 18/09/2025 - AWARD," was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council via their e-Tendering System. This initiative focused on taxi services, classified under the CPV code 60120000, and involved the provision of these services across multiple regions, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British Overseas Territories. The procurement method used was a selective, restricted procedure, with the tender period ending on 23 September 2025, and a contracted service period from 25 September 2025 to 23 February 2028. The procurement has reached the award stage, as indicated in the latest update from 15 October 2025.

This procurement contract presents significant opportunities for transportation companies capable of delivering efficient taxi services over an extended period. With an awarded contract value of £39,157.84, businesses with a robust fleet and operational capacity to cover expansive geographical regions are well-suited to compete. The opportunity is geared towards larger entities rather than SMEs or VCSEs, given the selective procedure and the requirement for competitive pricing and comprehensive geographic service coverage. Multiple suppliers have already been noted for involvement, reflecting a competitive environment that encourages business growth and industry advancement in taxi services.
