The contract, awarded to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd, spans multiple UK regions including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, and London, among others. This tender falls under the industry category of works, specifically focusing on taxi services (CPV: 60120000) and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The contract period starts on 8th September 2025 and concludes on 31st July 2026. Key dates include the end of the tender period on 14th August 2025 and the award date on 14th August 2025, with the procurement stage currently completed.

This tender presents significant opportunities for large-scale taxi service providers, particularly those interested in expanding their presence across various regions in England. The contract's focus on passenger transport, coupled with its value of GBP 18,720, makes it suitable for enterprises adept at providing reliable and extensive transportation services. Given the involvement of non-profit organisations (VCSE), the tender encourages diverse business participations but excludes small and medium enterprises (SMEs), highlighting an opportunity primarily for larger companies. Such procurement contracts can facilitate business growth by securing long-term engagements with public entities like Leicester City Council.
