Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the project titled "SEN18613-SEN-TAXI-GOLDHILL ADVENTURE PLAYGROUND" has been completed by Leicestershire County Council. This contract falls within the services industry category, specifically focusing on transport services, excluding waste transport. The location for this procurement is England, United Kingdom. The procurement stage is now at the award stage, with the contract awarded on 29th June 2026. The contract period is scheduled to start on 22nd October 2026 and end on 31st July 2027. Leicestershire County Council, based in Glenfield, Leicester, is the buying organisation for this procurement.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector. Although the contract was awarded to GVN CABS LTD, a large-scale business, organisations that can provide specialised transport services in England could find similar future procurement opportunities beneficial for growth. The procurement method was classified as "Other," which may indicate alternative selection processes or criteria, potentially favouring businesses that demonstrate flexibility, reliability, and cost-effectiveness in fulfilling unique transport needs. Companies geared towards public sector contracts, particularly those focused on logistical and passenger transport services, are well-suited to compete in this domain.
