Summary of the contracting process

The Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process titled "36741 - CONTACT," which pertains to the provision of taxi services under their Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. This procurement falls under the industry category of transport services, specifically, taxi services (CPV: 60120000) and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers (CPV: 60170000). The procurement was conducted using an open procedure, and the award was made on 16th January 2026. The contract is scheduled to commence on 27th January 2026 and conclude on 15th June 2026, servicing the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport services industry, particularly those capable of providing specialised transport solutions. The awarding of the contract to AZOOM TAXI, a large scale supplier, underscores the scope of work required and the potential market for large, capable organisations. However, the procurement strategy, utilising a Dynamic Purchasing System, may offer ongoing opportunities for suitable businesses, including VCSEs, to subcontract or participate in future procurements. Engaging with Leicester City Council's procurement processes could be a strategic move for transport service providers looking to expand their operations in the public sector, particularly within the East Midlands region.
