## Summary

The procurement process led by Leicester City Council for the project titled "35192 - Castle Mead Academy" is now in the award stage, having been completed successfully. This project falls under the services category, specifically for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV code 60170000. The procurement method used was an open procedure, ensuring a transparent competitive process. Key dates include the contract period starting on 29th August 2024 and ending on 31st July 2028. The service coverage includes multiple regions within the United Kingdom, such as the North East, North West, East Midlands, West Midlands, and London. The award was published on 24th April 2025, confirming AZOOM Taxi as the supplier.

This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses involved in passenger transport services, particularly those operating on a large scale like AZOOM Taxi. The transport requirement spanning various regions across the UK offers extensive scope for business expansion and enhanced regional presence. However, this opportunity might not have been suited to small or medium enterprises (SMEs) or voluntary, community and social enterprises (VCSEs), given the scale and coverage requirement. The open procedure employed by Leicester City Council allows for fair competition and can inspire businesses of suitable scale and capability to engage actively in such procurement processes to drive their growth.
