Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "MBRO1101 - AWARD" has been completed by Buckinghamshire Council via their e-Tendering System, with Jasmine Cookson acting as the contact point. This contract involves taxi services, classified under the CPV code 60120000, and covers various locations including the United Kingdom, British Overseas Territories, and more. The procurement method employed was a selective, restricted procedure. The contract was awarded on 26th January 2026, subsequently entering the award update stage, and the contract period is set from 27th January 2026 to 1st August 2030. This process was particularly tailored with the contract's value established at £58,181.42.

This tender offers growth opportunities, especially for businesses experienced in providing taxi services on a large scale over extended contract periods. The contract's extensive location coverage and selective nature signify it would be well-suited for established companies capable of meeting specific procedural standards and logistical capabilities. Although opportunities for SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable, companies like The Taxi People Ltd, which was successfully awarded the contract, illustrate the kind of established logistics providers that can benefit most from such procurement exercises. Potential bidders should have robust pricing models in line with the competitive per-mile rates required by the procurement terms.
