Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process conducted by Leicester City Council involved the award of a contract for taxi transport services, classified under the industry category of Taxi Services (CPV: 60120000), as well as Hire of Passenger Transport Vehicles with Driver (CPV: 60170000). This tender, part of a dynamic purchasing system, attracted bids through a mini-competition. The contract runs from 18th August 2025 to 20th October 2025, with all services to be delivered within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process, marked as "complete" as of September 18, 2025, reflects the awarding stage, with the buyer intending to fulfil the specific transport needs described in the tender.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services, specifically those experienced in providing large-scale taxi services. The award to Everest Taxis, a large entity, indicates that suppliers capable of handling extensive logistics efficiently would be well-suited for such tenders. SMEs and VCSEs may not find this tender directly suitable due to the procurement scale and suitability criteria. Companies with similar capabilities to Everest Taxis can use this precedent to enhance their profiles when engaging in future public sector opportunities.
