Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council, serving as the buying organisation, has completed the procurement process for the contract titled "35014 - REAL EDUCATION," under the industry category of passenger transport. This tender involved the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, providing taxi services across multiple UK regions, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement followed an open procedure, attracting various bidders until the tender period's closing on 23rd July 2024. The award was made on 26th July 2024, with the contract running from 27th August 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This procurement opportunity underscores substantial business growth potential, particularly for large-scale transport service providers capable of delivering across various regions. Although the process has concluded with AZOOM emerging as the successful supplier, similar future tenders could prove lucrative for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, including VCSE organisations, given the suitability criteria. Companies with established logistics networks and the ability to provide comprehensive transport solutions are well-suited to participate in similar upcoming tenders, thus enabling them to expand their service offerings and footprint across the United Kingdom.
