Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the tender titled "ID 35733 - WOLFDALE SCHOOL," which falls under the industry category of hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver (CPV code: 60170000). This contract covers multiple regions across 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 was conducted using an open procedure, with the tender period ending on 9th September 2024, and the contract period running from 16th September 2024 to 31st July 2028. The award was made to Elite Taxis on 9th September 2024, with a contract value of £54.4 million GBP.

This tender presents significant business opportunities, especially for large-scale transport service providers capable of covering vast regions across the UK. The comprehensive scope and duration of the contract offer long-term business stability and growth potential, particularly for companies specialising in passenger transport with professional drivers. As the procurement did not specify suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), larger businesses like Elite Taxis, which already operates on a substantial scale, are best positioned to meet the demands and expectations of such a large-scale service requirement.
