## Summary

The Buckinghamshire Council has completed a procurement process for taxi services, specifically related to Phase 3B - SSTD1417, under the CPV classification 60120000, which focuses on transport operations. This selective procurement followed a restricted procedure and culminated in the awarding of the contract to Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider. The contract was awarded on 21st January 2026 and spans from 23rd February 2026 to 23rd February 2030.
