Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council is currently conducting a selective tendering process for the "Small Vehicle Passenger Transport Services (DPS SV5)" contract, aimed at providing transport services for various vulnerable users, including children and those requiring special education needs. The procurement process is in the active stage, with the tender period closing on 9th June 2019. The contract is valued at £75 million and is classified under transport services excluding waste transport. The successful execution of this tender will span from 10th June 2019 to 9th June 2029, focusing on operations within the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents significant opportunities for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary and community sector entities (VCSEs) due to its inclusive approach to supplier selection. Businesses providing taxi services, especially those operating wheelchair-accessible vehicles or offering demand-responsive transport solutions, would be particularly well-suited to compete. As suppliers can join at any point during the duration of the dynamic purchasing system (DPS), this initiative not only ensures a steady stream of contracts but also fosters long-term partnerships with the Council, enhancing potential business growth.
