Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for taxi services, specifically for transportation from home to Babington Academy. This open procedure covered several regions across England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The tender, classified under CPV code 60120000 for taxi services and additional classification 60170000 for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, concluded its tender period on 3rd September 2025, with the contract running from 10th September 2025 to 19th December 2025. The award, published on 19th September 2025 with a value of £9,204, was given to SKYLINE TAXI, a large supplier.

This tender presents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transportation services. Companies with a focus on providing taxi or chauffeur-driven hire vehicles are well-suited to enter such contracts in the future. As Leicester City Council has shown a preference for partnering with large-scale suppliers, businesses looking to grow through public procurement can benefit from enhancing their capacity to serve wide geographic areas and aligning with public sector requirements. Additionally, organisations with an orientation towards social value, particularly voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), might find similar tenders supportive of their mission due to Leicester City Council's identifiable suitability preferences.
