Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "Summer Operations Week 5 - SMTS1406," managed by Buckinghamshire Council, focuses on taxi services under the industry category 60120000 (Taxi services). The process involved a restricted procedure, concluding with the award stage. The tender sought bids from transport operators to provide services from 1st September 2025 to 13th April 2030 across various locations, including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. Key dates included the tender end date on 29th August 2025 and the award date on 30th August 2025. The successful bidder, Neales Taxis Limited, secured the contract valued at £77,714.15.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport sector that specialise in providing taxi services. Though currently awarded, similar future tenders could allow experienced operators with a robust service delivery capability in diverse regions to compete effectively. The restricted procedure used indicates that pre-qualification or selective criteria must be met, which is ideal for businesses that have proven track records and can offer competitively priced services. Such contracts are particularly well-suited for businesses not categorised under SMEs or VCSEs, given the size and scale of operations required.
