Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of transport services to North Warwickshire & South Leicestershire College. This award follows a mini competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. The contract is valued at £32.1 million and runs from 15th September 2025 to 31st July 2026, covering the East Midlands region. The main industry category is taxi services, with an additional classification for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Although the tender period has concluded as of 10th September 2025, this process highlights the council's active engagement with large-scale transport providers. The procurement method utilised falls under 'Other' as part of the DPS.

For businesses providing transport services, especially those specialising in passenger vehicle hire, this contract illustrates a valuable opportunity for engagement with public sector procurement. Companies that can offer comprehensive taxi services in the East Midlands would be well-suited to compete in such tenders. Large businesses, such as SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd, which was awarded this contract, exemplify the level and scale of operation required to meet the council's needs. The contract illustrates prospects in public transportation services, presenting opportunities to establish strong ties with local government bodies and enhance regional service offerings.
