Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, conducted by Buckinghamshire Council via its e-Tendering System, revolves around the provision of taxi services, classified under CPV code 60120000. The process followed a 'restricted procedure' procurement method, intended for selective candidates, which concluded at the tender stage on 1st December 2025. The contract, worth GBP 50,550.85, was officially awarded to AUK Airport Service Ltd on 4th December 2025. The contractual period is set to commence on 8th December 2025 and continue through to 1st December 2030, covering service areas primarily within the UK, but extending to various global regions like the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man.

This tender creates substantial opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, particularly those capable of delivering high-quality taxi services on a large geographical scale. It could be particularly beneficial for businesses with the resources and expertise to offer efficient transport solutions across varied locations, both within and outside the UK. Due to its selective procurement approach, the tender may attract established companies capable of meeting the stringent standards and per-mile pricing criteria set by the council, positioning it as an attractive prospect for large-scale service providers seeking to expand their operational footprint.
