Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process involves Buckinghamshire Council, which has awarded the contract for "Phase 3D - SERS1501 - 19/01/26 - AWARD," categorised under taxi services. The award stage of the procurement was completed, with the contract being awarded to Gilberts of Chesham. The contract period begins on 13 April 2026 and ends on 12 April 2030, covering various locations including the UK, Channel Islands, and British Oversea Territories. The procurement followed a restricted procedure, with submissions for tender concluding on 3 February 2026.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in providing taxi services, particularly those capable of competing under selective procurement methods. Despite the restricted nature, businesses that can offer competitive pricing per mile and meet the transport requirements outlined by the Council have the chance to establish a long-term relationship with a public sector entity. While the contract is not specifically designed for SMEs or voluntary community sectors, well-established businesses in this category can leverage this opportunity to expand their operations and secure a steady revenue stream over the next four years.
