Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has finalised a procurement process under their Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for passenger transport services, specifically taxi services, with the contract title being "36720 - Oaklands School". This award was made following an open procedure and marks the completion stage of the procurement. The winning bidder, Aizel Cabs, will provide the required services in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded on 29th December 2025 and is set to commence on 5th January 2026, running through to 31st July 2028. The contract is valued at £26,325, and it falls under the CPV classification for taxi services and hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver.

This tender presents a significant business opportunity for companies operating within the taxi and passenger transport services industry, particularly those capable of fulfilling public sector contracts. While the specific contract has been awarded to a large-scale supplier, Aizel Cabs, the existence of the DPS suggests an ongoing opportunity for other taxi service providers. Businesses that can demonstrate competitiveness and reliability in service delivery, even if not classified as SMEs or VCSEs, are well-suited to compete in future related tenders with the Leicester City Council. Engaging with such opportunities can aid in business growth by granting access to stable and potentially long-term contracts with public sector entities.
