Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, titled "Phase 3B - SSTD1418 - 11/12/25 - AWARD," was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through its e-Tendering System, based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom. It falls under the industry category of taxi services. This process has reached the 'Award' stage, with the award being published on 20th April 2026. The tender concluded on 23rd December 2025, and the contract is set to commence on 23rd February 2026, running until 23rd February 2030. The procurement utilised a selective method, specifically a restricted procedure, focusing on the provision of comprehensive taxi services both locally and internationally, including regions like the British Oversea Territories, Channel Islands, and Europe.

This tender presents ample opportunities for businesses in the transportation sector, especially those specialising in taxi services, to expand their reach and establish long-term contracts. While SMEs and VCSEs might not find this opportunity directly suitable, larger taxi service providers with robust infrastructure could benefit significantly from participating in such a selective procurement process. The awarded contract, valued at £48,451.31, exemplifies a substantial commitment from Buckinghamshire Council, offering stability and assured revenue for the supplier, Gilberts of Chesham. Businesses looking to enter or expand their market presence within these geographical areas will find this contract a strategic match for growth and enhanced service delivery.
