Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has recently completed a procurement process for a taxi service titled "36301 OAKLANDS," classified under CPV code 60120000 for taxi services and further under 60170000 for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. This open procedure procurement, with a tender period that ended on 13th August 2025, has resulted in an active award as of the same date. The contract, valued at £20,358, commenced on 26th August 2025 and will run until 31st July 2028, covering multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The process was particularly suitable for voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) were not prioritised in this procurement method.

The awarded contract for the taxi service presents substantial opportunities for growth, particularly for large-scale service providers such as AZOOM TAXI, which was awarded the contract. Businesses specialising in passenger transport services with the capability to operate on a large scale across various regions of the UK stand to benefit significantly. Furthermore, companies that are aligned with the values and operations of VCSE organisations may find similar future opportunities promising. The open procedure allows businesses to engage directly with public sector contracts from key buying organisations like Leicester City Council, enhancing their market reach and contributing to sustainable growth.
