Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of taxi services for Catherine Junior School, classified under the CPV code 60170000 (Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver). The tender process, conducted via an open procedure, concluded on 6th September 2024, with the award announced on the same day. The contract begins on 26th September 2024 and is set to last until 11th July 2025. Services will be provided across various regions in the United Kingdom, including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. Leicester City Council, located at Passenger & Transport Services, 37-39 Sulgrave Road, Leicester, is the buying organisation, and the procurement was primarily in the 'works' category.
