Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has concluded the procurement process for the contract titled "35010 - MILLGATE", focusing on taxi services across multiple regions in England, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London. The industry category is the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, under CPV code 60170000. The procurement followed an open procedure, and the contract was awarded on 26 July 2024, with a contract period from 27 August 2024 to 31 July 2028. Although the tender period ended on 23 July 2024, the contract was awarded to AZOOM TAXI, a large supplier. This process emphasised inclusivity for VCSEs (voluntary, community and social enterprises), though not specifically tailored to SMEs.

This tender presents significant opportunities for businesses in the transport and logistics sector, particularly those specialising in passenger transport services. Companies with experience in managing large-scale transport operations across various UK regions could benefit from engaging in similar contracts. The project supports regional business expansion due to its extensive geographical coverage, making it suitable for large-scale operators with a robust logistical framework. Additionally, organisations aligned with social enterprise principles might find future opportunities, given the project’s suitability for VCSE participation.
