Summary of the contracting process

The contracting process for the project titled "35017 - R.E.A.L EDUCATION," facilitated by Leicester City Council, focuses on the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under the CPV code 60170000. The procurement falls under the services category and spans several regions across the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement stage has reached the award phase as of 2024-07-23, with the contract period commencing on 2024-09-10 and concluding on 2028-07-31. Leveraging an open procurement method detailed as an "Open procedure," this tender opened opportunities for competitive participation among businesses.

This tender represents an opportunity for large-scale transportation providers, such as A-Zoom Taxis, which won the bid, to expand their operations and secure long-term contracts. The project offers substantial growth potential given the extensive geographical coverage across various regions in the UK. While SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises) and VCSE (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) are noted as unsuitable for this tender, businesses with an established capacity to manage a significant fleet and provide specialised transport services are particularly well-suited to leverage this opportunity for business growth and to strengthen their market position.
