Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded the procurement process for the "36150 RUSHY MEAD ACADEMY" project. This contract, focused on providing transport services, particularly taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with a driver, covers the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. Notably, the procurement was executed through a mini-competition under the council's dynamic purchasing system (DPS) PAN3059 - Passenger transport services. The contract, awarded on 15th July 2025, is set to commence on 28th August 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2028. The procurement method was categorised under "Other" and has now reached the award stage, with a final contract value of £16,263 GBP.

This tender represents a lucrative opportunity for large-scale transport companies that specialise in commuter services and can provide fleet management solutions tailored to educational institutions. Although the contract favours larger providers and thus may not be directly suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, businesses capable of delivering high-quality taxi services in compliance with regulatory standards and experience in managing school transportation needs could benefit from similar opportunities. This contract reinforces the importance of robust infrastructure in public transportation for regional councils, highlighting chances for businesses to meet these service delivery needs.
