Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "S446 Mainstream Taxi from Oadby to All Saints C of E Primary School" has been completed recently. Leicestershire County Council, based at County Hall, Leicester, acted as the buying organisation. The contract falls under the industry category of transport services and the location is specified as England, United Kingdom. The procurement method used was an open procedure, ensuring a competitive and transparent process. Key dates for this contract included the tender period ending on 3rd August 2026, with the award made on 4th August 2026, and the contract scheduled to start on 26th August 2026, lasting until 9th July 2027.

This tender presented opportunities for businesses involved in providing transport services, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), as indicated by the suitability criteria. With a contract value of £6,912, organisations engaged in taxi or related transport services had the potential to expand their operations within the public sector. Large companies like the winning supplier, ABC Taxis (Leicester) Ltd, are well-positioned for such contracts, but the use of an open procedure also encourages participation from smaller firms willing to deliver efficient and reliable services. This fosters a competitive market environment, offering growth avenues for businesses in the transport sector.
