Summary of the contracting process

This public procurement process was conducted by Leicester City Council for the 37011 STAFF TAXI contract, which falls under the industry category of taxi services. This tender was part of the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services and was specifically designed for providing transport services. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the process has reached the award stage, with the contract now considered complete. Key dates include the conclusion of the tender period on 24th June 2026 and the contract period running from 6th to 7th July 2026. The location of delivery is the East Midlands, United Kingdom.

The tender offers significant business growth opportunities, particularly for companies specialising in transport services.

Businesses that focus on taxi services or hire of passenger vehicles with a driver stand well-suited to compete in similar procurement processes, facilitating their expansion within the public sector transport market.
