Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for taxi services, identified under CPV code 60120000, has been completed by Buckinghamshire Council via their e-Tendering system. The contract titled "Phase 3B - SSTD1425 - 10/12/25 - AWARD" involves service delivery in diverse locations, including mainland UK, British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and beyond. This tender followed a restrictive procedure with selective procurement, and the tender period concluded on 23rd December 2025. The contract's duration spans from 23rd February 2026 to 23rd February 2030. Key details from the award stage indicate that Budget Cars Ltd has been successfully chosen as the supplier, with an active award published on 21st April 2026, amounting to £87,349.48 GBP.

This procurement represents substantial opportunities for growth in the transport sector, particularly for businesses specialising in taxi services with international reach. Buckinghamshire Council's focus on selective procurement suggests that seasoned service providers with the capability to adhere to competitive price per mile offerings are well-suited to engage in future such tenders. Although this specific contract didn't prioritise SMEs or VCSE organisations, larger transport operators with a robust track record could leverage this contract to expand geographical service delivery and enhance operational scale across multiple territories.
