Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the award stage of a public procurement process titled "37029 - KEYHAM LODGE". This contract, valued at £15,912, involves the provision of taxi services under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. The procurement covers services within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The process, initiated as a tender and now awarded, will see the services commence on 24th August 2026 and run through to 31st July 2028. The procurement method was classified as "Other", indicating a specific procurement approach utilised under the DPS, rather than traditional open or restricted procedures.

This procurement process presents considerable opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, especially those capable of providing taxi services or hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. While the opportunity has been awarded to AZOOM TAXIS, understanding the dynamics of the Council's DPS can prove lucrative for future tenders. Large-scale transportation businesses, especially those familiar with government contracting processes, are well-positioned to compete in similar markets. Despite the completion of this specific tender, staying informed about such frameworks could enable other businesses to align with future service demands of public sector buyers like Leicester City Council.
