Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process, conducted by Buckinghamshire Council, pertains to taxi services under the classification ID 60120000. The procurement process has reached its award stage, with Executive Private Hire (EPH) Ltd t/a Cabs4U being the selected supplier. The procurement was carried out using a restricted procedure, a selective method that ensures qualified suppliers could bid for the contract. The contract, valued at £167,446.93, commences on 3rd November 2025 and runs until 13th April 2030. Although the procurement is focused on the United Kingdom, the tender documentation mentioned broader geographic regions such as British Overseas Territories and the Channel Islands, indicating potential service zones.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specializing in transportation and logistics, particularly those equipped to offer reliable and cost-effective taxi services. Although the contract was not labelled as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), companies with experience in large-scale transport services and government tenders could find significant growth potential. Businesses adept at navigating restricted procurement processes and handling complex service contracts in diverse geographic locations would be well-suited to such opportunities in future procurement activities.
