Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has awarded a contract for taxi services from Home to St. Andrews under the title "35948 - HOME TO ST. ANDREWS." The procurement process falls within the works category and employs an open procedure for tender. This contract encompasses a comprehensive delivery area across several regions in 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 contract period begins on 10th December 2024 and ends on 11th July 2025, following the tender end on 5th December 2024. Notably, the total contract value awarded is £21,840, involving a detailed breakdown. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were not targeted, while voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were included.

This tender represents a substantial opportunity for growth for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those capable of providing taxi services with and without drivers. The variety and breadth of the geographical service area ensure ample business expansion potential. Large-scale taxi service providers, like the awarded supplier Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd, would be well-suited to compete for such contracts. The precise nature of service delivery will benefit from organisations that boast robust operational networks across multiple UK regions. Furthermore, the inclusion of VCSE suitability indicates potential engagement for socially driven enterprises.
