Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has concluded the procurement process for taxi services under the contract titled "SCWP1435 - AWARD". This process, using a selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, targets taxi services classified under the CPV code 60120000. The procurement process reached its award stage on 6th May 2025, and the contract commenced on 1st June 2025, running until 1st December 2030. The services will be delivered across several locations, including the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. The project's overall value is £86,306.81, aligning with the Council's need for reliable transport operations.

This award offers significant growth opportunities for businesses capable of providing taxi services across multiple territories. However, given the scale and requirements outlined by Buckinghamshire Council, this contract may best suit established companies with the capacity to meet extensive geographical demands and operational standards. Despite the opportunity's size, the tender was not explicitly suited for SMEs or VCSEs, indicating that larger transport companies such as Budget Cars Ltd, the awarded supplier, stood a better chance of securing the contract. This project emphasises competitive pricing and operational consistency in service delivery, providing a substantial platform for business growth in the transport sector.
