## Summary

Buckinghamshire Council has completed a procurement award process for taxi services, titled "Phase 3D - SFBS1501 - 19/01/26 - AWARD". The procurement falls under the industry category of services and utilises a selective procurement method via restricted procedure. The process culminated in the award on 11th March 2026 with the contract period commencing on 13th April 2026 and ending on 12th April 2030. The buyer, Buckinghamshire Council, operates through its e-Tendering System based in Aylesbury, United Kingdom, and the tender is intended to be executed across multiple regions, including the United Kingdom, Europe, and other international locations.

This awarded taxi services tender presents potential growth opportunities for businesses involved in transportation. Although the procurement process is complete, small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were considered unsuitable for this particular tender. Nevertheless, transport operators specialising in minibus and taxi services could greatly benefit from exploring similar contracts in the future given the substantial contract value of £95,097.60 awarded to Bucks Minibus Travel t/a Swan Rider. Businesses with capabilities in broad geographic coverage and competitive pricing per mile for transportation may find such opportunities rewarding. The competitive edge could be enhanced by adhering to the specific terms and leveraging regions like Europe and the British Oversea Territories. The buyer’s contact point, Karl Miles, could provide essential insights for companies looking to participate in upcoming opportunities.
