## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council has concluded a procurement process for taxi services under the title "Phase 3A - SALF1401 - 27/11/25 - AWARD," focusing on a selective procurement method with a restricted procedure. The procurement has reached the award stage with the successful bid from Budget Cars Ltd. The service, classified under the CPV code 60120000 (Taxi services), will be delivered across numerous regions, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and British Overseas Territories, with operations commencing on 23 February 2026 and concluding on 23 February 2030. Although the tender status is complete, this process highlights the council's ongoing cooperation with regional suppliers like Budget Cars Ltd.

This tender represents a valuable opportunity for businesses specialising in transportation services to expand their operations, particularly those capable of managing large-scale service provision across multiple locations. The procurement process, managed selectively through a restricted procedure, was designed to ensure competitive pricing, requiring transport operators to submit bids detailing their price per mile. Whilst not specifically focused on SMEs or VCSEs, established transport providers with an ability to serve diverse regions are well-suited to compete for similar contracts, potentially fostering further business growth through such public procurement opportunities.
