## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council, as the buying organisation, initiated a public procurement process for taxi services under the title "Phase 3B - SHHS3401 - 08/12/25". The tender falls within the services category, specifically focusing on taxi services, with a classification code of CPV 60120000. The procurement method employed was a selective, restricted procedure aimed at ensuring a competitive and fair bidding process. Situated in Aylesbury, United Kingdom, with delivery addresses potentially covering British Overseas Territories, Channel Islands, Isle of Man, and Europe, the process concluded with the award phase on 21st January 2026 and contract execution commencing on 23rd February 2026, lasting until February 2030. The award was finalised shortly after, with key dates including the tender closing on 22nd December 2025, allowing businesses to prepare their bids in advance.

Taxi operators and transport service providers are presented with significant growth opportunities through this tender, with Buckinghamshire Council’s project offering a substantial contract valued at £127,375.92. This procurement is ideally suited for businesses capable of providing competitive pricing per mile, as stipulated in the tender documentation.
