Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process titled "36978 - Family's together", involving the provision of transport services as part of its Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services. Classified under the CPV codes for taxi services and hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, the contract covers the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom. The contract, awarded to ADAMS TRANSPORT, commenced on 22nd June 2026 and will conclude on 30th October 2026, with a total value of £11,700. Although tendering has closed, this contract was managed through a mini-competition under the council's DPS framework.

This specific procurement offers significant potential for businesses involved in passenger transport services, especially those equipped to provide reliable taxi services within the United Kingdom, particularly in the East Midlands. While Leicester City Council awarded this contract to a large firm, smaller and medium enterprises (SMEs) and those not identified as voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSE) could target similar opportunities arising from the council's ongoing transport service requirements. Businesses in this industry may explore joining the council’s DPS to become eligible for future mini-competitions, thus promoting business growth through government contracting.
