Summary of the contracting process

The recent public procurement process conducted by Buckinghamshire Council, under the e-Tendering System, involves a contract for taxi services. This is classified under the CPV code 60120000. The contract, designated as SCWP1434 - AWARD, follows a selective procurement method through a restricted procedure. It covers services within the United Kingdom and globally, extending from the British Overseas Territories to Europe. The award phase of this tender was completed on 6th June 2025, with the contract period extending from that date until 1st December 2030. This project's procurement stage is marked as completed, with the award being published on 22nd July 2025.

This procurement offers significant growth opportunities, particularly for businesses specialising in transport services. However, the tender specifically stipulates requirements that may not be suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, suggesting an expectation for businesses with the capacity to deliver extensive and possibly global taxi services. The long-term nature of the contract provides a stable business trajectory for the supplier, Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider, indicating opportunities for further expansion and service optimisation over the five-year contract duration. Businesses with extensive experience in the logistics and transport industry are best positioned to innovate and excel in this competitive space.
