Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council recently completed the tendering process for the project titled "35129 - St Joseph's Catholic Voluntary Academy", which involves the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The procurement falls under the services category and was conducted using an open procurement method, labelled as an open procedure, inviting competitive bids from qualified suppliers. This process reached the award stage on 24th July 2024. The contract period extends from 29th July 2024 to 31st July 2028, covering delivery addresses throughout various regions of the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The main phase of the procurement was completed by April 2025 with Azoom, a large-scale supplier, being awarded the contract valued at £27,768, following the completion of the tender period ending on 24th July 2024.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large businesses in the passenger transport sector to engage with public sector projects, enhancing their portfolio with government contracts. While the suitability criteria specify that SMEs and VCSEs were not prioritized, large companies equipped to provide transport services with drivers are well-positioned to benefit from such lucrative public contracts. By meeting the demands of this contract across multiple regions, businesses like Azoom, who secured the tender, can leverage this engagement to bolster market position and explore further public sector opportunities. Organisations with a robust workforce and fleet capacity looking to expand their service offerings across the UK would find this type of procurement exactly suited to their growth ambitions.
