## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process for the provision of passenger transport vehicle hire with a driver, notably for Ellesmere College. This contract, awarded under an open procurement procedure, covers 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 procurement stage has moved from tender to award, with the contract period set to commence on 28th August 2024 and end on 31st July 2028. The tender was finalised with a total contract value of £41.5, and an award valued at £31,512 was announced on 20th March 2025.

This contract offers significant business growth opportunities for providers of passenger transport services equipped with drivers, particularly large organisations due to the scale of requirements. The broad geographic coverage ensures that businesses operating across multiple UK regions can benefit from this contract. The procurement is specifically suitable for large corporations rather than SMEs or VCSEs, making it a substantial opportunity for well-established transport companies to expand their service offerings and establish a long-term partnership with a prominent local government authority.
