Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of a 15-seater minibus service for Lutterworth College and Lutterworth High in England. The contract relates to non-scheduled passenger transport services, covering special-purpose road passenger-transport and hire with a driver. This open procurement, managed via an open procedure, began with a tender that concluded on 11th August 2025, with a subsequent award date of 11th August 2025. The contract period will commence on 26th August 2025 and continue until 10th July 2026. The awarded contract, valued at £43,225, was published on 13th August 2025, with WILSONS COACHES being the successful supplier.

The tender offers significant business growth opportunities, especially for firms specialising in passenger transport services. Given the procurement favoured small to medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), businesses fitting these profiles may find this sector especially lucrative. Larger transport companies, like WILSONS COACHES, also successfully compete, suggesting broad possibilities for companies across various scales. The location in the United Kingdom emphasizes local service provision, which might appeal to regional SMEs looking to expand their market presence.
