Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the provision of LCC transport services was spearheaded by Leicester City Council. This contract, titled "36105 ELLESMERE COLLEGE", involves taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under the CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000. The services are to be delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The process was initiated through a mini-competition under the council's dynamic purchasing system PAN3059. The procurement method employed was selective, with the tender period concluding on 12th May 2025, and the contract running from 14th May to 31st July 2025. Key information was updated recently on 15th May 2025, marking the completion of this procurement stage with the contract having been awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses in the transportation services industry, particularly those with capabilities matching large-scale service delivery, although it is not tailored to SMEs or VCSEs. The use of a dynamic purchasing system highlights a controlled and selective procurement method, favouring established suppliers like HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD. As the contract value is £31,168.80, this could provide substantial business growth for companies able to fulfill similar service requirements in the future. Businesses with expertise in taxi services or passenger transport within the specified region are well-suited to compete for such government contracts.
