Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process titled "34956 - ELLESMERE COLLEGE" for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The tender was conducted using an open procedure and covered multiple regions across the United Kingdom, including the North East, North West, and London, among others. The procurement focused on the services industry, with a contract period commencing on 28th August 2024 and concluding on 31st July 2028. The tender's award stage was active as of 8th May 2025, with Azoom being selected as the supplier. The estimated contract value stands at £60 GBP with key dates such as the tender period ending on 22nd July 2024.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for large-scale businesses specialised in passenger transport services, particularly those experienced in managing contracts across diverse geographic locations within the UK. Given its open procurement method, businesses that can provide comprehensive fleet management and driver services stand to benefit greatly. The contract's four-year duration offers a stable revenue stream, encouraging growth and potential expansion for successful organisations. Businesses that are well-suited to compete in this market are generally not from the SME or VCSE sectors, thus larger enterprises with robust operational capacities are best positioned to take advantage of this opportunity.
