Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council conducted an open procurement procedure titled "35119 - ELLESMERE COLLEGE," focusing on the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. This process falls under the works category and encompasses a broad delivery area across multiple regions in the United Kingdom, including London and the Midlands. The procurement process, which has reached the award stage, concluded its tender period on 24 July 2024, with the contract running from 11 September 2024 to 31 July 2028. The open procedure invited tenders above the threshold value and has resulted in the awarding of the contract to VICTOIRA, a large-scale supplier, as of the award notice published on 24 April 2025.

This tender presents significant business growth opportunities, especially for businesses in the passenger transport sector capable of offering vehicles equipped with professional drivers. Given the outlined contract period and value of £23,244, it is a lucrative engagement for enterprises capable of fulfilling large transport logistical requirements. The process is particularly suitable for SMEs looking to expand their reach and services across England, provided they can meet the competitive standards set by Leicester City Council. Furthermore, businesses with a strong presence or logistical bases in the specified delivery regions could benefit substantially by participating in similar tenders in the future.
