Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process to contract Elite Taxi for passenger transport services under contract number 36807. This contract pertains to the provision of taxi services along stated routes, and it falls under the CPV classification code 60120000. The procurement was conducted through an open procedure as part of a Mini Competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059. Located in the East Midlands, UK, the contract was awarded on February 4, 2026, and will commence on February 9, 2026, with an end date of June 8, 2026. The total contract value is £9,672.

This contract represents significant business growth opportunities, especially for large taxi service providers interested in expanding operations within the East Midlands region. Smaller businesses, however, may find this opportunity less suitable due to the Council's preference reflected in the procurement process's suitability criteria, which does not favour SMEs or VCSEs. Those in the transport industry looking to scale their operations can leverage such contracts to bolster their portfolio and foster relationships with local authorities like Leicester City Council, underpinning long-term growth and stability in public sector procurement engagements.
