## Summary

The procurement process, initiated by Buckinghamshire Council using a selective method known as a restricted procedure, concerns the award of a contract for taxi services. These services are classified under the CPV code 60120000, and the primary delivery location is specified as HP19 8FF in the United Kingdom, with services extending to several other regions including British Overseas Territories and Europe. The contract is set to commence on 13th April 2026 and will run until 12th April 2030, following the award stage completed on 12th March 2026 with Budget Cars Ltd as the supplier. The process, involving a competition invitation, detailed terms for bid submission, and routing information, concluded its tender period on 29th January 2026.

This tender provides business growth opportunities especially for transport operators within the specified regions, with Budget Cars Ltd already successfully securing the contract.

The awarded contract, with a total value of £36,156.90, highlights potential for financial growth for companies capable of effectively servicing the outlined regions under the established terms.
