Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process, managed by Leicestershire County Council, pertained to a tender titled "S433 Mainstream Taxi from Leire and Frolesworth to Old Mill Primary School," classified under transport services (excluding waste transport). This process, which has reached the award stage as of 28th July 2026, involved an open procedure with a tender value of £9,216. The service location is in England, United Kingdom, with the contract period commencing on 24th August 2026 and concluding on 6th July 2027. This procurement specifically aims to engage services suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs).

This contract presents an excellent opportunity for transport service providers to engage with public sector work, adding stability and potential growth in their portfolio. Given the open procedure, businesses specialising in passenger transport services, especially those capable of managing school transport logistics, are well-suited to compete. The focus on SMEs and VCSEs reflects a desire to engage local and community-oriented businesses, offering a platform to expand their service offering within the public sector in England. Businesses like XYZ Private Hire Ltd, which was the awarded supplier for this contract, can expect to derive value from such opportunities by aligning with public sector requirements and contributing to community transport needs.
