Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System, focusing on providing taxi services under the title "Phase 3D - SLWS3501 - 19/01/26 - AWARD". The process follows a restricted procedure and has reached the award stage, with Crown Cabs Travel Ltd confirmed as the supplier. The contract, valued at £96,118.68, is set to begin on 13th April 2026 and conclude on 12th April 2030. Primarily targeted at the services industry, this tender involved selective procurement methods, and the delivery address includes various UK territories and regions such as the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and British Overseas Territories.

This opportunity is particularly suited for established taxi service operators looking to secure long-term contracts. Given the selective procurement method, it is beneficial for companies with a strong track record in public sector contracts and the capacity to operate at a large scale. While the procurement details did not specifically cater to small or voluntary community sector enterprises, businesses capable of meeting the competition terms, such as submitting a price per mile, had the potential to gain significant business growth by successfully engaging with this contract. The wide geographical service scope presents opportunities for companies capable of efficient logistical management across diverse locations.
