Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the City of Leicester College, under the title "36362 - CITY OF LEICESTER COLLEGE", was conducted by Leicester City Council. This contract falls under the services industry, specifically classified as passenger transport services including taxi services and hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, located in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement method was an open procedure, and the process reached the award stage by 21st August 2025. The contract period begins on 26th August 2025 and concludes on 31st July 2028. The award, published on 19th September 2025, resulted from a mini-competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (PAN3059) and was valued at approximately GBP 20,007.

This tender presents opportunities for large passenger transport companies such as taxi services, focusing on the hire of vehicles with drivers. Although small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable for this specific contract, large organisations stand to benefit significantly from the steady work and potential for increased long-term collaboration with local councils. SKYLINE TAXIS emerged as the successful supplier, underscoring the potential for similar large-scale service providers to secure profitable, multi-year contracts through Leicester City Council's procurement processes. The contract offers an extended service period, presenting suppliers with a stable revenue stream and opportunities to reinforce their presence in the region.
