Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has successfully completed a procurement process to provide transport services, specifically taxi services, for Elmbrook School. This contract, which falls under the passenger transport services category and is classified with CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000, was conducted via a mini competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059. The procurement has moved to the award stage as of 6th November 2025, with the contract period set to start on 10th November 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2028. The services will be rendered in the East Midlands and the total contract value is £33,228. The procurement method was carried out under a specialised process beyond standard procedures.

This tender offers substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses specialising in passenger transport services. While the awarded supplier, SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd, is a large-scale operator, future opportunities may arise that could benefit small and medium-sized enterprises, although this specific procurement did not focus on SME suitability. Businesses with expertise in providing taxi services and possessing the capacity to engage in public sector contracts, especially within the East Midlands region, would have been well-suited to compete in similar procurements.
