Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "35525 - ASHFIELD ACADEMY" is led by Leicester City Council. This tender falls under the services category, specifically the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery locations spanning multiple regions in the United Kingdom including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The tender status is marked as complete, and the award was made on 5th August 2024. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 5th August 2024, and the contract period from 29th August 2024 to 31st July 2028.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transport services. Given its extensive regional scope across England and the substantial contract value of £51,792, established transport companies can leverage this contract to expand their operations and increase revenue streams. The contract is ideally suited for large-scale operators like A-Zoom Ltd, who won the award, as the requirements do not favour small and medium enterprises or voluntary, community, and social enterprises. Companies with robust logistics and operational capacities would be well-positioned to compete in similar future tenders.
