Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the contract titled "SPAR1420 - AWARD" was conducted by Buckinghamshire Council through their e-Tendering System. This contract pertains to the taxi services industry, classified under the CPV code 60120000, and covers a broad geographical area including the United Kingdom and other regions like the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man. The procurement method used was selective, specifically a restricted procedure, intended to narrow down the pool of suitable bidders. The tender process was completed on 3rd April 2025, and the award was made to Crown Cabs Travel Ltd on 6th May 2025, with the contract commencing on 1st June 2025 and spanning until 1st December 2030. The total value of the contract is £101,362.49.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses engaged in providing taxi services, particularly those capable of handling contracts of this scale across multiple regions. While this specific contract is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, larger enterprises with established logistics and fleet management capabilities are ideally positioned to benefit from similar opportunities offered by the Buckinghamshire Council. A well-crafted bid emphasising cost efficiency and service reliability per mile, as required in the competitive terms, could enhance a company's prospects in securing such contracts, thereby supporting business expansion and increased market presence.
