Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process for the project titled "34995 - MILLGATE SCHOOL," under the CPV classification "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver." This was conducted using an open procedure and encompasses service delivery across numerous regions in the UK, including London, the East Midlands, and others. The significant stages included the tender's end by 22nd July 2024, with the contract set to commence on 27th August 2024 and concluding by 31st July 2028. The tender is now in the award stage, with Hansom Airport Taxis, a large scale supplier, being awarded a contract valued at £52,884, as reported on 1st May 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those capable of operating on a larger scale, given that suitability criteria exclude SMEs and VCSEs. The wide geographic service requirement across the UK provides an excellent growth opportunity for large transport companies aiming to expand their market reach. Companies with experience in managing transport contracts for public sector clients, such as schools, would find this contract particularly beneficial in further establishing their presence within this industry.
