Summary of the contracting process

The public procurement process for the project titled "35315 - Castle Mead Academy" was conducted by Leicester City Council. This tender falls under the industry category of "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver" (CPV code 60170000). The contract involves service delivery across multiple UK regions including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, South West, and England. The procurement method used was an open procedure. The tender period ended on 29th July 2024, with a contract period starting on 30th August 2024 and ending on 31st July 2028. The total value of the contract awarded is £54,000, with a specific award value of £34,632 for the supplier Skyline Taxis, published on 13th March 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses experienced in passenger transport services to engage with a government contract that spans several regions, ensuring consistent and stable work for four years. Companies with robust transport service capabilities, particularly those able to provide hire services with drivers, would find this contract beneficial for business growth. While this specific opportunity may be ideal for larger enterprises, smaller medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary/community and social enterprises (VCSEs) were not the primary focus for this tender. However, large-scale transport providers like Skyline Taxis, who have secured the contract, demonstrate the scale of operations required to meet the procurement needs of Leicester City Council.
