Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council, located in Leicester, England, has awarded the contract titled "35117 - Ellesmere College" for taxi services. Falling under the "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver" category, this procurement involves numerous delivery locations across regions including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West of the United Kingdom. The process was conducted through an open procedure with a tender end date of 24th July 2024. The contract, valued at GBP 44,928, spans from 28th August 2024 to 31st July 2028, having been awarded on 24th July 2024 to SKYLINE, a large-scale supplier.

This procurement presents a substantial business growth opportunity by engaging in the transport services sector, particularly for those capable of providing comprehensive passenger vehicle hire with driver services. While the contract already awarded to a large-scale enterprise, the open procedure used highlights the demand for competitive bids, indicating opportunities for similarly large or experienced suppliers in the passenger transport industry to either pursue this scale of project or similar ones in the future. The emphasis on broad regional coverage further suggests that businesses with extensive operational fleets and capacities stand well-suited to compete in such tenders, while also appealing particularly to organisations aligned with civic or public-sector engagements, as noted by the VCSE suitability criteria.
