Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-Tendering System, has recently completed the procurement process for taxi services under the restricted procedure method. The tender, titled "Phase 3C - SSAS1501 - 14/01/26 - AWARD," falls under the industry category of 'Taxi services' with the CPV code 60120000. This procurement was specifically targeted towards service delivery across various locations, including the United Kingdom and beyond. The contract period commenced on 13th April 2026 and concluded on 29th May 2026, following the award's publication on 14th May 2026. The tender was part of a selective procurement method, with a tender period ending on 29th January 2026.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses engaged in taxi services to expand their footprint and capabilities by servicing a wide-ranging geographic area, including international locations. The procurement was geared towards well-established businesses like "The Taxi People Ltd", which was the successful supplier awarded the contract. Small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) would find it challenging to compete without considerable resources and existing infrastructure. The selective and restricted nature of the procurement method suggests that future tenders may also favour entities with proven track records in large-scale service provision.
