## Summary

This contract covers a wide location range, including the United Kingdom and several international regions. The process follows the selective procurement method under a restricted procedure, showcasing its completion with the award stage as of 27th April 2026. The tender period concluded on 3rd February 2026, marking the transition to the contract period starting on 13th April 2026, and running until 12th April 2030.

With a contract value of £96,118.68, there is robust potential for stable revenue over the four-year term.

Businesses that specialise in comprehensive transport services and can operate on a large geographic scale are likely to find this procurement process advantageous, as the delivery locations span from the UK to overseas territories. The involvement of a reputable public sector buyer like Buckinghamshire Council further underscores the reliability and prestige associated with winning this tender.
