Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Buckinghamshire Council via their e-Tendering System, was conducted to award a service contract under the industry category of taxi services (CPV code 60120000). The contract, titled "MBCS1202 - AWARD", follows the restricted procedure method, indicating a selective procurement process. The project primarily addresses transport services across various regions including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and other international locations, with the contract scheduled to start on 5th January 2026 and conclude on 1st August 2030. The procurement stage reached completion with the award status being active as of 29th December 2025, and the awarded contractor is Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd trading as Cabs4U.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in transportation services, particularly those with a focus on taxi operations, given the long-term nature of the contract encompassing various geographic locations. Though specifically awarded to Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd, similar businesses with experience in large-scale, cross-regional transport logistics and strategically cost-effective pricing models could find substantial growth potential in future comparable procurements. Companies with the capacity to meet complex operational demands posed by servicing expansive regions including the British Oversea Territories and beyond, stand a chance to benefit from such government contracts.
