Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is leading a public procurement process titled "35253 - ELLESMERE COLLEGE (KFC SITE)" focused on the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV code 60170000. The procurement involves a dynamic purchasing system using the selective procurement method. The tender covers services delivery across various regions including the North East, North West, and London, among others in the United Kingdom. The procurement stage has reached the tender phase, with key dates including a tender closure on 29th July 2024 and a contract period from 28th August 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This procurement presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses, specifically those in the transport sector with capabilities in providing drivers along with vehicle hire services. While the project was procured using an open procedure, it was ultimately awarded to Azoom Taxis, a large supplier. The contract's extensive regional coverage and value of £31,512 highlight potential for expansion and business visibility across multiple regions in England. Companies looking to grow their fleet management and transportation services, while extending their reach in the public sector, would find this contract considerably advantageous. However, the opportunity was not directly targeted towards SMEs or VCSEs, indicating a preference for more established corporate entities.
