Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded the procurement process for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, aimed specifically at Ellesmere College, Aylestone Meadows. The contracting phase has been completed with an award to SKYLINE TAXIS. This public procurement process falls under the services category with the contract spanning from 28 August 2024 to 31 July 2028. It was carried out using an open procedure, allowing participation from a broad range of suppliers. The key delivery locations span various regions across the UK, including the North East, North West, Midlands, London, and the South regions, with the procurement reaching a total value of £44,616 GBP. Relevant deadlines occurred in July 2024 for the tender period, with the award effectively activated soon after the end date.

This procurement opportunity primarily opens avenues for large-scale transport providers, offering substantial growth potential through a long-term contract.
