Summary of the contracting process

The procurement process for the contract titled "36178 - WOLFDALE SCHOOL" was initiated by Leicester City Council, a local authority based in England. This contract is part of the public services industry category, specifically focusing on taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The procurement was managed through a dynamic purchasing system, specifically under the Council's PAN3059 for passenger transport services. The process transitioned through the tender and award stages, with the tender period concluding on 18th July 2025 and the contract period running from 26th August 2025 to 31st July 2028. The procurement, located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, followed an open procedure with a total contract value of £24,792.30.

This tender offers substantial business growth potential for companies involved in transportation services, particularly those equipped to manage taxi services and passenger vehicle hire with drivers. Despite the competitive selection through a mini-competition under a dynamic purchasing system, businesses with capabilities in serving regional transport needs and complying with specified procurement methods are well-suited to compete. Large scale, established service providers like PRIME1 TAXIS, the chosen supplier for this contract, exemplify the type of business that can effectively harness opportunities presented in this sector.
