This tender falls under the taxi services industry category, specifically classified under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000, and services will be delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure, with the award announced on 19th September 2025. The contract commenced on 8th September 2025 and is set to conclude on 31st July 2026.

This contract presents a significant opportunity for large-scale businesses in the passenger transport sector, particularly those offering hire services with drivers. As the contract was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd, a company operating at a large scale, it showcases a potential model for similar businesses aiming to expand in the East Midlands region. Despite the non-suitability for SMEs or VCSEs, larger enterprises in the taxi and passenger vehicle service fields are ideal contenders for future similar tenders, fostering growth through established partnerships with local government bodies like Leicester City Council.
