Summary of the contracting process

Buckinghamshire Council has concluded a procurement process for taxi services under the tender titled "SHHS3409 - AWARD." The procurement followed a selective method using a restricted procedure and is now in the award stage. The contract, awarded to Express Travel, was valued at £10.67 at completion. The service category is classified under CPV code 60120000 and covers various locations, including the United Kingdom and overseas territories. The contract period begins on 12 May 2025 and will continue until 30 March 2030, with the tender's initial submission deadline having been 6 May 2025. The award was published on 7 May 2025, signalling the procurement's completion status.

This contract presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those with experience in providing taxi operations across a broad geographic area. Although Buckinghamshire Council has already selected Express Travel for this award, companies with a focus on logistical efficiency and competitive pricing structures can find inspiration in this process to enhance their proposals for future tenders. The long-term nature of this contract supports substantial potential growth for businesses equipped to scale their operations to accommodate the extensive scope of services required by similar public sector contracts. Such opportunities typically suit larger transportation firms rather than SMEs or VCSEs, given the comprehensive geographic delivery requirements outlined in the tender.
