Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded an award process for the provision of transport services under the title "36745 - CONTACT," focusing on taxi services. This procurement falls within the transport industry category, specifically covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The process adhered to an open procedure within the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender stage concluded on 15th January 2026, and the contract, valued at £1,697, commences on 19th January 2026 and runs to 27th February 2026.

This procurement presents fruitful opportunities for businesses involved in providing taxi services, especially those that can meet the requirements of a government contract. Given the contract's suitability for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSE), organisations within this sector are particularly well-placed to benefit. However, as bidding has concluded and the contract has been awarded to ASA Transport, future prospects may arise in similar tenders through the DPS. Engaging with such public procurement processes can enhance business growth through government collaborations, infrastructure improvement within the local communities, and potential for service expansion.
