Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council involves a contract for taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The successful organisation, Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider, has been awarded an active contract valued at £91,417.14 GBP, with the contract running from 13th April 2026 to 12th April 2030. This award stage follows a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure. The tender was initiated to invite competition, with a specific focus on transport operators to bid by submitting a price per mile, as outlined in the competition terms. The services will be delivered across various regions, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories.

This tender presents lucrative opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, especially those providing taxi services. While the procurement method was selective, it opens avenues for transport operators to expand their operations within Buckinghamshire and beyond, given the diverse delivery locations ranging from the United Kingdom to global territories. Businesses that specialise in efficient and competitive pricing models for transport services, particularly taxi operations, stand to gain economically and scale their market footprint through involvement in such long-term contractual engagements. The suitability is not directed towards SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting an advantageous position for larger transport companies with robust service offerings.
