Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has recently completed a procurement process for the provision of transport services titled "36918 - KESTREL MEAD PRIMARY ACADEMY." This procurement concerns taxi services and involves hiring passenger transport vehicles with a driver, primarily servicing the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The process adhered to an open procedure under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. The tender period closed on 9th April 2026, and the contract commenced on 16th April 2026, ending on 29th May 2026, with an awarded contract value of £10,218.

This tender presents opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport industry, particularly those specialising in taxi services, to engage with public sector contracts. While this specific contract is already awarded, participation in the Council's DPS opens the door for future opportunities, providing a platform for both large and small passenger transport firms to compete for projects. This is particularly advantageous for companies looking to extend their services in the East Midlands area and those interested in strengthening relationships with local government buyers. Azoon Taxis, a large scale supplier, was the successful bidder in this instance, highlighting the relevance of having established capabilities and competitive service offerings to appeal to public sector procurement needs.
