Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process for taxi services, titled "36290- HOME TO SUBWAY". This contract, classified under CPV code 60120000, covers various regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and several others. The tender, which followed an open procurement procedure, reached the award stage with a total estimated value of £240 GBP. The contract period was from 14th August 2025 to 15th August 2025. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation, and the tender status is marked as complete. The key deadline for tender submission ended on 7th August 2025, with the award being published on 18th September 2025.

This contract presents opportunities for businesses in the transportation sector, particularly those offering taxi and passenger transport services with drivers. The procurement was specifically suitable for voluntary community and social enterprises (VCSEs), although the awarded supplier, Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd, is a large-scale operation. This suggests that companies with considerable capacity in providing transportation services can significantly benefit from bids like this. Engaging in such council-led contracts can provide business growth opportunities by expanding service areas across multiple UK regions.
