Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the project titled "35049- ELLESMERE COLLEGE" was conducted by Leicester City Council, a prominent buying organisation located in Leicester, England. This tender falls under the services category, specifically for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV code 60170000. The tender process was completed using the open procedure method, with the status marked as complete. The contract award stage occurred on 23rd July 2024, with the contract itself spanning from 28th August 2024 to 31st July 2028. The service delivery locations are widespread across regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for entities specialising in transport services, particularly those capable of providing vehicle hire with drivers. Although Elite Taxis, a large-scale supplier, successfully secured the award valued at £38,532, similar service providers with capacity and resource adequacy could find opportunities in future tenders of this nature. The open procurement method allows a wide range of businesses to participate, although this tender was not deemed particularly suitable for small to medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs). Companies looking to expand their clientele in multiple regions of the UK would find participation in such tenders beneficial for strategic growth.
