Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, initiated by Leicester City Council, involves a contract titled "36177 - SANDFIELD CLOSE PRIMARY CLOSE" focusing on taxi services. This falls under the industry category of "Taxicab services" as per CPV classification and is situated in Leicester, England. The process is in the award stage, with the award announced on 18th July 2025, and the contract period set to commence on 25th August 2025, lasting until 31st July 2028. Conducted via an open procedure, the tender was designed with considerations for VCSEs (Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises) but not specifically for SMEs (Small and Medium Enterprises).

Large-scale enterprises, like the awarded supplier, HANSOM TAXI, stand to benefit substantially by providing services under a multi-year contract valued at £30,420. Such businesses should possess the infrastructure and operational agility to meet the sustained demand over the three-year period, potentially enabling substantial growth through long-term engagement with the local council.
