Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process was conducted by Leicester City Council for the provision of taxi services under the title "36307 - tech college." The process falls within the service industry category of "Taxi services" and "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver," with its operations expected within the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The process reached the award stage, with key dates noting the contract awarded on 14th August 2025. The contract period will start on 1st September 2025 and conclude on 31st July 2026. The award is part of a Mini Competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services, indicating a selective procurement approach.

This opportunity is instrumental for businesses specialising in transportation services, especially those capable of providing reliable and efficient taxi services. The contract, awarded to CityRides Leicester Ltd, a large-scale supplier, represents a significant business growth opportunity within the public sector for those offering competitive and high-quality services. While the DPS method was employed, businesses focusing on similar services may find gaining entry into such systems advantageous for future tender opportunities. However, SMEs or VCSEs were not primarily suited for this specific tender, emphasising the scale and capacity needed.
