Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through their e-Tendering System for a project titled "Summer Operations - SAVA1402 - 08/10/2025 - AWARD," under the industry category of taxi services. The procurement method employed was the selective, restricted procedure, focusing on service provision. The key dates for this process include the tender period ending on 13th October 2025 and the start of the contract period on 6th November 2025, concluding on 1st December 2030. The geographical scope covers the United Kingdom and includes areas like the Channel Islands, Isle of Man, amongst others. The procurement process has reached the 'award' stage with the contract awarded to R And S Travel Ltd on 14th October 2025, with a total contract value of £93,031.98.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transportation sector, specifically those capable of competing within the taxi services industry. Although the current award was granted to R And S Travel Ltd, the long contract period offers potential subcontracting or partnership opportunities for other service providers. Businesses with expertise in managing large-scale, multi-location transport operations and an established presence in the listed areas would find this contract particularly conducive to growth and market expansion. Additionally, understanding the restricted procedure used in this tender process can help similar enterprises strategize for future participation in public procurement processes.
