Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council, acting as the buying organisation, has concluded the procurement process for the provision of transport services for The Children's Hospital School. This tender falls under the industry category of Taxi services, with an additional classification for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The services will be delivered within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement process stage is at the 'Award' phase, with the contract period set from 27 August 2025 to 31 July 2028. The process followed a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) and resulted in two awards dated 23 July 2025. The contract was valued at £36,270 and was awarded to Everest Taxis Ltd, while CityRides Leicester Ltd also received an award valued at £13.89.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport sector to demonstrate their capacity to deliver reliable and cost-effective transport solutions. The awarded contracts suggest a preference for larger enterprises, as indicated by the current awardees, Everest Taxis Ltd and CityRides Leicester Ltd. Although the contracts are already awarded, similar future opportunities could exist for transport service providers looking to expand their footprint in the public sector in the East Midlands, particularly those experienced with council-driven dynamic purchasing systems. Businesses with the capability to scale and meet the service demands of public schools will find such opportunities advantageous for growth and revenue expansion.
