Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has conducted an open procurement process under the title "36359- VARIOUS" focused on "Taxi services" as defined by CPV code 60120000, with additional classification for "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver" (CPV code 60170000). The tender, which is now in the award stage, involved providing taxi services across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East and West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement was executed via an open procedure, and significant milestones include the tender period end date on 21 August 2025 and the contract period from 26 to 27 August 2025. Leicester City Council, located at Passenger & Transport Services, 37-39 Sulgrave Road, Leicester, acted as the buyer, with Rashmi Khoda serving as the main point of contact.

This tender presents notable growth opportunities for businesses within the passenger transport industry, particularly those equipped to provide taxi services on a large scale, given the procurement's reach across numerous regions. While the contract is indicated as being suitable primarily for Voluntary, Community and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), its scale and scope suggest that large or well-coordinated service providers, like hansomtaxis@gmail.com who secured the contract, could effectively compete in this domain. The contract value, initially estimated at £68 GBP, was successfully awarded for a total of £7020 GBP, highlighting potential profitability for similar ventures. Engaging in such tenders could enable businesses to expand their service portfolios and geographical footprint, driving further business development and industry presence.
