Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process is managed by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System and involves the award of a contract for taxi services, identified under the CPV code 60120000. The title of the contract is "SBPS1438", with the procurement process having reached the award stage as of 5th November 2025. The service locations span the United Kingdom and several overseas territories, with the contract period running from 3rd November 2025 to 1st December 2030. The procurement method used was a selective, restricted procedure, and the tender period concluded on 29th October 2025. The procurement process was designed to attract tenders from transport operators required to submit a price per mile.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for businesses operating in the transport sector, specifically for those providing taxi services. Although the contract was awarded to Budget Cars Aylesbury LTD, businesses in a similar line of work can glean insight into procurement opportunities offered by local councils. Despite not being particularly suited for SMEs or VCSEs as specified in the suitability criteria, enterprises experienced in competitive bidding and those capable of delivering services across multiple regions would find this kind of contract beneficial for strategic growth and expanding their client base within the public sector. The contract's sizeable duration and value of approximately £116,434 highlight its potential for a stable revenue stream.
