Buckinghamshire Council, operating through its e-Tendering system, recently concluded a procurement process in the taxi services industry under the title "SBPS3407 - AWARD". The contract was awarded to Express Travel, incorporating a restricted procedure that began service delivery on 4th June 2025, with an end date of 1st December 2030.
