Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "Summer Operations Week 4 - SCOT1403 - 22 August 2025 - AWARD" has been completed by Buckinghamshire Council, facilitated through its e-Tendering System. This opportunity falls under the category of Taxi services (CPV code: 60120000) and involves a contract that spans from 1st September 2025 to 1st December 2030. The procurement utilised a restricted procedure, indicating a selective method where a limited number of suppliers were invited to bid. Located in Aylesbury, the project was awarded on 28th August 2025, with a subsequent publication date of the award notice on 1st October 2025. The procurement stage is classified as 'Award'.

This tender presents a significant business growth opportunity, particularly for companies in the transportation and taxi service industry. With a contract value of £66,630.35 over a five-year term, this project offers sustained work for the supplier, "The Taxi People Ltd", illustrating a lucrative venture for businesses looking to secure long-term contracts. However, as highlighted in the suitability criteria, this specific opportunity may not be directed towards small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting that larger, more established businesses in the sector would be well-suited to compete for similar contracts in the future.
