Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the "36390 - HOME TO SCHOOL" taxi services project, classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services and CPV 60170000 for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The process, initiated on an open procedure basis, was aimed at providing transport services across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The tender period concluded on 28th August 2025, with the contract period spanning from 3rd September 2025 to 28th November 2025.

This tender presents growth opportunities for large enterprises in the taxi and passenger transport sectors, given its wide geographical scope and involvement of established suppliers. Notably, Leicester City Council, as the buying organisation, awarded contracts to Victoria Cabs and One Express (previously known as X Cab) as suppliers. Companies looking to expand their service delivery across different regions of the UK could benefit from engaging in similar future tenders, particularly those offering services catering to public sector needs and demonstrating suitability for large-scale operations.
