Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has recently completed a procurement process titled "36437 - HOME TO VARIOUS" under the industry category of taxi services. The procurement followed an open procedure for the provision of taxi services, classified under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000, indicating hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The contract covers regions across the United Kingdom, 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 stage has reached the award phase as of September 19, 2025, with the contract period set from September 15, 2025, to July 31, 2026. The total contract value is reported at £16,653 GBP, and the procurement method employed was an open procedure, which suggests broad participation and competition.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses that specialise in passenger transportation services, particularly those capable of providing taxi services across multiple regions in the UK. Although the procurement was not specifically suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), organisations classified as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) were considered suitable, therefore businesses in this sector would be especially well-positioned to benefit from similar opportunities. The large scale and diverse regional scope imply that well-resourced companies capable of handling extensive logistical operations stand to gain the most from participating in such tenders. Given the active involvement of Leicester City Council as the buying organisation and their clear guidelines and open procurement method, businesses aiming to collaborate with public sector entities can leverage these opportunities to enhance their market presence and business growth in the transportation sector.
