Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process titled "34983 - HOME TO SCHOOL" was executed by Leicester City Council, a public body located in Leicester, England. The procurement falls under the industry category for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver (CPV code 60170000). This tender addressed 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 process proceeded under an open procedure, with the tender period closing on 25th July 2024 and the contract period extending from 11th September 2024 to 11th July 2025. The procurement stage is complete, with Hansom Taxis being awarded the contract valued at £8,580 on 25th July 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for business growth, particularly for larger transport service providers capable of delivering passenger services across a broad geographic area. While the procurement specifically did not target small and medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses equipped to manage a large-scale operation and maintain a fleet of vehicles with drivers are well-suited to vie for similar contracts. Engaging in such governmental contracts can enhance a company’s portfolio, provide steady revenue streams, and offer entry into long-term public sector partnerships. The open procedure ensures a fair competitive process for adequately prepared organisations meeting the tender requirements.
