Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has completed the award phase of the procurement process for their taxi services contract titled "Phase 3A - SCHI1412 - 01/12/25 - AWARD." Classified under CPV code 60120000, this contract covers a wide range of geographical locations, including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and Rest of the World. Utilising a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure, the council aims to ensure high-quality service delivery. The tender process started with the invitation to tender, concluding the tender period on 15 December 2025. The contract period initiated on 23 February 2026 and is set to end on 23 February 2030. Buckinghamshire Council manages the procurement process via its e-Tendering System, with contact details provided for Karl Miles.

This tender represents significant growth opportunities for businesses specialising in taxi services. While the process has already been awarded to Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider, it underscores a lucrative field for transport operators capable of delivering service across various territories, including within the UK and internationally. Businesses that are competitive, possess strong logistical capabilities, and demonstrate efficient pricing strategies may benefit from participating in future tenders of this nature. Although not suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, larger transport service providers looking to expand their market presence are well-suited to compete in similar tenders. The procurement contract, valued at £60,198, reflects substantial demand and potential for similar future opportunities.
