Summary of the contracting process

Leicestershire County Council has initiated a transportation services procurement titled "SV5 DPS," focused on home-to-school transport services. The procurement falls under the category of services and is aligned with the transport sector, excluding waste transport. Service delivery is concentrated within Leicestershire and Northamptonshire, covering several UK regions, including UKC to UKK. This process is at the contract update stage, following an active awarding phase as of 2025. Noteworthy amendments include extending the Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) until 2nd June 2028, with a total contract value elevated to £90 million. The contract was originally signed on 1st April 2019, and its current duration is set for 3,240 days, equating to nearly nine years.

This tender provides substantial opportunities for businesses within the transport services sector, particularly those capable of delivering school transport solutions. Companies specialising in public transport, particularly small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), are well-positioned to benefit from this contract's requirements, especially given the contract's significant monetary value and extended duration. Such businesses can leverage the continuity and financial impact of securing a long-term public sector client like Leicestershire County Council to fuel growth and stability in an evolving marketplace.
