Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process initiated by Buckinghamshire Council involved the award of a contract for taxi services under the title "Phase 3A - SMAP3403 - 1/12/25". This contract falls within the 'services' category according to the CPV classification system, specifically targeting taxi services. The procurement was executed through a restricted procedure method and completed during the award stage with Neales Taxis Limited securing the contract. The contract is valued at £73,819.51 and is set to commence on 23 February 2026, running until 23 February 2030. The service delivery will encompass various regions including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and beyond. The original tender period concluded on 15 December 2025.

As the contract is already awarded, opportunities for business growth with Buckinghamshire Council in similar future tenders could be advantageous for companies specialising in transportation services. Businesses that can offer competitive pricing per mile, and have extensive service coverage across diverse geographical locations, may have better prospects in upcoming bids. Although this specific tender did not show a preference for SMEs or VCSEs, it's crucial for interested parties to consider participating in similar tenders for public service contracts, especially those offering services akin to taxi operations. Future tenders might also align with the same selective procurement method, demanding adherence to strict bidding protocols through platforms like the In-tend portal.
