Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council recently completed the procurement process for its "36427 DOVELANDS & CONTACT" contract, aimed at providing transport services through taxi operations. The contract falls under the industry category of "Taxi services" with additional classifications in "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver." The procurement, conducted via the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) for Passenger Transport Services, was managed using an open procedure, ensuring competitive bidding. The contract serves the East Midlands region in the UK, with the scheduled contract period running from 15th September 2025 to 11th July 2026. Key dates include a tender end date of 5th September 2025, and it was awarded to SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd, on the same date, valued at GBP 8,580.

This tender presents growth opportunities for businesses in the passenger transport industry, specifically those experienced in handling large-scale logistics and competitive DPS environments. While the current contract is complete, taxi service providers looking to engage with public sector contracts might find similar opportunities by getting involved in dynamic purchasing systems like Leicester City Council's. Businesses with large operational capacities such as SKYLINE Taxis, which successfully secured this contract, may particularly benefit from these opportunities, aligning their growth strategies with public-sector transport needs.
