Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process led by Leicestershire County Council involves the provision of transport services for Birkett House School, under the title "SEN18741-SEN-TAXI-BIRKETT HOUSE SCHOOL." Categorised under transport services (excluding waste transport) with CPV code 60000000, this procurement falls within the industry category of services. Located in England, United Kingdom, the procurement used an open procedure method. The tender, identified by LEICSCC001-DN820735-73032567, reached its award stage on 24 July 2026, post completion of the tender period ending 15 July 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £17,940, commences on 24 August 2026 and concludes on 31 July 2027.

This contract presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the transport services sector, particularly those capable of fulfilling the specific needs of special educational transport. While the procurement process was not flagged as suitable for SMEs or VCSEs, large organisations similar to Cityrides Leicester Ltd, the successful supplier, would be well-placed to compete. The open procurement method encourages competition and can facilitate business growth for companies seeking to expand their operations within public contract frameworks.
