Summary of the contracting process

In a recent procurement process, Leicestershire County Council, based in Glenfield, Leicester, has completed an open tender procedure for transport services, excluding waste transport, titled "SEN19077-SEN-TAXI-Bowman Academy." The process was finalised on 28th July 2026, following a tender period that ended on 24th July 2026. The procurement falls under the services category, applying to England within the United Kingdom. The contract, valued at £33,280, is set to commence on 24th August 2026 and will run until 16th October 2026. This tender reached the award stage with the active award published on the same day as completion.

This tender offers opportunities for growth primarily to businesses involved in the transport service sector, specifically those who provide taxi services. While it is not tailored for small or medium enterprises or voluntary community and social enterprises, larger organisations like URBAN CARS UK LTD, which secured the contract, are well-positioned to capitalise on such opportunities. The open procurement process encourages fair competition, making it ideal for businesses seeking to expand their client base through public sector contracts.
