Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council recently completed a public procurement process titled "35187 BIRKETT HOUSE SCHOOL" concerning the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The procurement was carried out under an open procedure, categorised under services, specifically for transport in regions spanning across England, including the East Midlands and London. This awarding stage concluded on the 1st of May, 2025, after tenders were evaluated on the 25th of July, 2024. The contract period is set from the 27th of August, 2024, to the 31st of July, 2028, with a total allocation of £54,444 awarded to NMI Taxi, a large-scale supplier.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport services industry, particularly those capable of supplying vehicles with drivers for long-term contracts across multiple regions in England. Companies with an established presence and capacity for large-scale operations, such as NMI Taxi, can benefit from being in a position to handle broader service demands. The open procurement procedure encourages competitive participation, making it ideal for businesses looking to expand their service coverage and establish long-term public sector partnerships. Although the tender's suitability did not specifically target SMEs or VCSEs, larger organisations stand to gain the most from this opportunity.
