## Summary

The procurement process was led by Leicester City Council, which sought transport services for the City of Leicester College. This contract falls within the taxi and passenger transport vehicle sector, classified under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000, respectively. The procurement commenced with an open procedure facilitated through a mini competition under their dynamic purchasing system (DPS) PAN3059 for passenger transport services. Although the tender status is complete, the award stage was finalised on 24th July 2025, with the contracted services set to commence on 26th August 2025 and continue until 31st July 2028. The contract is geographically located in the East Midlands region of the United Kingdom, with the tender period having concluded on 23rd July 2025.

This tender presents opportunities for large companies within the transport services industry, as Leicester City Council has awarded the contract to AZOOM, a well-established supplier. The procurement aligns with longer-term business growth strategies for suppliers able to efficiently manage the supply of transport services to educational institutions. While SMEs and VCSEs were deemed unsuitable for this contract, businesses specialising in the provision of vehicles for hire with drivers, particularly those with a significant scale of operations, are positioned to benefit from similar future opportunities initiated by councils or other public sector entities. The contract details exemplify how adapting to procurement methodologies like dynamic purchasing systems can facilitate entry into public sector markets, offering long-term business stability.
