The procurement process initiated by Leicestershire County Council, titled "Small Vehicle Passenger Transport SV5 DPS," falls under the transport services industry category, specifically excluding waste transport. The process is currently in the tender stage, indicating that it is active and open for submissions. The procurement involves the provision of passenger transport services using small vehicles, such as those required for home-to-school transport, social care, and demand-responsive transport (DRT). The process employs a dynamic purchasing system (DPS) and has been extended under Regulation 34 of the PCR2015 regime, valid from the 2nd of June 2025 to the 1st of June 2028. Businesses interested in participating should note that submissions must be made electronically, with criteria details specified online, and the procurement method is selective, using a restricted procedure. Bidders are advised to prepare submissions in English by the end of the tender period on the 30th of May 2028. The delivery location for these services is in the UKF2 region.

This tender offers significant opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those with expertise in handling small vehicle operations and providing transport solutions for educational and social care sectors.

Given the selective procurement method, well-prepared submissions that emphasise suitability and experience will be crucial for success. This tender could serve as a strategic entry point for companies looking to expand or establish a foothold in the regional public transport sector.
