Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council has reached the award stage for the contract titled "Phase 3A - SMAP3406". This tender pertains to taxi services classified under the industry category CPV 60120000, and the services will be provided across locations including the United Kingdom and British Overseas Territories. The procurement followed a selective method under a restricted procedure, with the contract period spanning from 23rd February 2026 to 23rd February 2030. The award was published on 21st April 2026, with an active contract status since 23rd January 2026, valued at £105,261.16 to the supplier "Transport Wizard". Although the tender period concluded on 15th December 2025, the comprehensive timeline ensures that bidding entities are adequately informed about project specifics and deadlines.

For businesses focused on transport services, this tender presents robust opportunities for growth, particularly for established transport companies capable of delivering service across diverse regions. The procurement process does not directly encourage small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), suggesting a demand for expertise and scalability. Consequently, businesses with established networks, proven service delivery in transit operations, and price competitiveness per mile will find potential avenues for expansion through participation in such government contracts. Successful tendering can lead to long-term collaboration and revenue enhancement, benefitting entities like Transport Wizard, which has successfully secured the award.
