Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for "Phase 3A - SALF2405L - 27/11/25 - AWARD" has been completed under the guidance of Buckinghamshire Council via its e-Tendering system. The tender falls within the taxi services industry category, identified with the CPV code 60120000, and involves delivery across various regions including the United Kingdom and Europe. This procurement was awarded on 20th April 2026 to Neales Taxis Limited, with the contract period starting from 23rd February 2026 and concluding on 23rd February 2030. This tender followed a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure, initially closing for bids on 11th December 2025.

This tender represents a valuable business opportunity for transport operators specialising in taxi services, providing a stable long-term contract valued at over £107,000. Companies with sufficient operational capacity and capability to offer competitive pricing per mile, as stipulated in the call for competition terms and conditions, would find this tender particularly suited to their growth strategies. However, the procurement suitability excludes small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary and community sector enterprises (VCSEs), indicating a preference for larger, established transport operators. The involvement with Buckinghamshire Council also allows the selected supplier to enhance its portfolio through collaboration with a reputable public sector authority.
