## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed a tender process for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, specifically for the Ashfield Academy project. This tender falls under the services category and was conducted through an open procurement procedure. The contract is valued at £52,572 and will cover various regions across the United Kingdom including North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. The contract period is set to start on 29th August 2024 and will end on 31st July 2028. The award notice was published on Contracts Finder on 20th March 2025. The procurement stage is currently at the award phase.

This tender represents a substantial business growth opportunity, particularly for companies in the transport service sector that can provide passenger vehicles with drivers. Large-scale transport service providers such as Azoom Taxis, which has been awarded the contract, will find this an ideal opportunity to expand their operations and service coverage across multiple regions in the UK. Although the suitability criteria do not favour SMEs or VCSEs, other large transport firms that meet similar qualifications and can demonstrate capacity for extensive service provision may find similar opportunities in public procurement to bolster their portfolio.
