Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council is procuring taxi transport services for Phase 5C, with the requirement associated with its e-tendering system in Aylesbury. The work is for transport operators providing passenger journeys and submitting a price per mile under the competition terms. The listed delivery coverage includes the United Kingdom, Aylesbury, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man, Europe, British Overseas Territories and the rest of the world. The procurement is categorised as taxi services and falls within services rather than goods or construction work. It is therefore relevant to licensed or otherwise suitably established taxi and passenger transport operators able to deliver journeys across the stated coverage and comply with the council’s competition requirements.

This procurement has been awarded and is complete following a selective restricted procedure. The tender submission deadline was 16 April 2026 at 4pm, and the award was made on 30 April 2026. GK Travel Ltd was awarded the contract for £9,409.50. The awarded contract period runs from 1 June 2026 to 30 May 2031. The tender required transport operators to submit a price per mile, with clarifications submitted through the In-tend portal. The procurement was classified as a services contract for taxi services. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The buyer is Buckinghamshire Council’s e-tendering system.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Buckinghamshire Council’s demand for contracted taxi transport and the commercial scale of this particular requirement. A credible future competitor would need to operate passenger transport services, cover the relevant Buckinghamshire and wider listed journey locations, and price work consistently on a per-mile basis. It would also need the operational capacity to support a long-term council contract, manage journeys reliably and engage with a formal restricted procurement process. The council’s recorded suitability assessment means smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises may find this type of requirement less aligned with their profile. Established transport operators with appropriate fleet, staffing, dispatch and compliance arrangements are the closest fit.
