Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has awarded a contract for the "35549 - SCHOOL TO CONTACT" project, which involves the hiring of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, specifically for taxi transport services. This procurement falls under the services category and covers several regions across the United Kingdom including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The procurement process followed an open procedure, concluded with the awarding stage on 6th August 2024, followed by the beginning of the contract on 12th August 2024, and continuing until 9th July 2025.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those with capabilities to provide passenger transport services. Large-scale transport service providers, like the awarded supplier SKYLINE, are well-suited to such contracts due to their scalable operations and capacity to cover extensive service areas across the country. While SMEs and VCSEs were not highlighted in this particular tender as suitable, businesses looking to expand their service portfolio to include transport services for educational institutions might find such future opportunities advantageous for growth and diversification.
