Summary of the contracting process

This recent public procurement process initiated by Buckinghamshire Council focuses on delivering taxi services, classified under the CPV scheme ID 60120000. The project, titled "SLHP1401 - 09/12/25 - AWARD", has reached the award stage, with Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider selected as the supplier. Covering a broad range of locations, including the United Kingdom, Channel Islands, and Europe, the restricted procedure ensures competitive bids. The contract officially commences on 15 December 2025 and extends through to 13 April 2030. The tender period concluded on 11 December 2025, with formal announcements published on 17 December 2025.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for companies specialising in transport and logistics, particularly those offering competitive pricing models. While the procurement method was selective, meaning the competition might have been limited to pre-selected bidders, there exists an opportunity for transport operators to showcase their operational efficiency and scalability. Businesses that focus on providing taxi services with an emphasis on community engagement and expanding service areas would be well-suited to seek similar opportunities through public sector contracts. The award, valued at £105,031.77, highlights the potential for revenue in large-scale service agreements in the transportation sector.
