Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for taxi services titled "Phase 3B - SSTD2403L - 11/12/25 - AWARD" is conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through their e-Tendering System. This contract belongs to the services category under the industry classification for "Taxi services" (CPV: 60120000). The procurement follows a selective method via a restricted procedure, which suggests specific eligibility criteria for participation. The tender was awarded on January 23, 2026, with the contract period spanning from February 23, 2026, to February 23, 2030. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase, indicating the completion of the competition. Businesses interested in this area should have noted the tender end date of December 23, 2025, for submission of proposals.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses within the transport sector, particularly taxi service providers, to expand their operations. Despite the procurement's restriction not favouring SMEs or VCSEs, larger or more established transport operators could leverage resources to meet the requirements, such as submitting competitive pricing per mile. The contract, with an approximate value of £109,944.85, offers the potential for stable work across diverse locations, including British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Europe, Isle of Man, and the United Kingdom. As Bucks Minibus Travel, trading as Swan Rider, has been awarded the contract, similar businesses that have expertise in large-scale operations in these regions may find future opportunities in such public procurement processes.
