Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process for taxi services under the title "36181-THURNBY MEAD PRIMARY ACADEMY". This falls under the industry category of "Taxi services" and involved hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The open procurement procedure was conducted in the United Kingdom, specifically within England. The tender was in the award stage as of 18th July 2025, with the contract being scheduled to commence on 28th August 2025 and end on 31st July 2028. The total awarded amount comes to £24,511.50.

This tender provides an opportunity for businesses in the transport and taxi services sector to expand their clientele by servicing public sector contracts. While the main procurement was awarded to a large company, ELITE TAXI, businesses of similar scale and smaller transport providers specialising in passenger services might look to such opportunities for potential partnerships or subcontracting to meet public demand. The involvement of Leeds-based VCSE organisations indicates particular suitability for entities fitting this profile to engage with the council's future needs.
