Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed an open procurement procedure for the provision of taxi services, specifically for The City of Leicester College. This contract falls under the industry category of taxi services, with an additional classification for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The services are set to commence on 3rd December 2025, concluding on 31st July 2028, with the provision being valued at £28,080. Located in the East Midlands, the Council awarded the contract through a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) to CityRides Leicester Ltd, following a mini competition. Key dates include the tender period ending on 1st December 2025, and the award confirmed on 2nd December 2025.

This procurement presents significant opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, especially for those able to leverage dynamic purchasing systems like Leicester's. While the current contract is awarded to a large-scale provider, smaller enterprises not currently engaged can consider future participation in such DPS tenders, as it enhances competitiveness through streamlined processes and consistent opportunities. Engaging with the Council's procurement practices might be particularly beneficial for companies aiming to expand their service portfolios within public sector contracts in the region.
