Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the "36300 Orchard Mead Academy" contract was conducted by Leicester City Council under their dynamic purchasing system, focusing on taxi services in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The industry category pertains to the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. This procurement followed an open procedure, culminating in the award stage on 13th August 2025. The contract period commenced on 28th August 2025 and will conclude on 31st July 2028. This opportunity reflects the completion of a mini competition under the council's specific procurement framework, ensuring transparent engagement with service suppliers.

This contract presents significant business growth opportunities for large-scale suppliers in the passenger transport sector. Specifically, those offering taxi and hire services with experienced drivers stand to benefit. Although suitability for SMEs and VCSEs wasn't highlighted, established companies like Prime1taxis, which secured the contract, were able to engage due to their scale and service capabilities. This reflects the potential for similar businesses to expand their regional footprint through successful engagement in such competitive processes. Additionally, participating in future contracts from Leicester City Council could further enhance a business's reputation and operational reach within the public procurement domain.
