Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has successfully progressed to the awarding stage in the public procurement process for the provision of transport services, specifically taxi and passenger transport vehicles with drivers, under its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059. The tender, titled "36076- forest lodge", has been awarded to SMART PLUS TAXIS following a mini-competition. The procurement process, classified under the CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000, is situated in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The contract duration is set from 31 March 2025 to 11 July 2025, and the award notice was published on 15 May 2025. The procurement method utilised was of an alternative nature, tailored to accommodate small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This tender presents opportunities for businesses involved in the taxi service and passenger vehicle hire sectors, particularly those capable of competitive bidding for such dynamic purchasing frameworks. The successful bidder, SMART PLUS TAXIS, exemplifies a large-scale enterprise; however, the procurement was structured to encourage participation from SMEs and VCSEs, indicating further potential opportunities for smaller organisations in future procurements within similar categories. Business growth can be fostered by engaging in these dynamic systems, as they offer recurring opportunities for qualified suppliers to compete and deliver essential public services.
