## Summary

The procurement process led by Leicestershire County Council involved the purchase of season tickets for mainstream school transport for the 2025/26 academic year. The tender, classified under the non-scheduled passenger transport industry (CPV: 60140000), aimed to ensure the provision of home to school transport services on commercial bus routes across England. The process has reached the award stage, with key dates including the tender period ending on 15th May 2025 and the contract commencing on 26th August 2025. This contract, valued at £693,272, has a duration lasting until 25th August 2026. The procurement process utilised other procurement methods and was suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This tender presents considerable opportunities for growth, particularly for businesses providing special-purpose road passenger-transport services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Suppliers such as Andrews of Leicester Ltd, Beaver Bus Ltd, and Roberts Coaches Ltd, with varying scales including SMEs and larger entities, were involved, highlighting the diverse opportunities available. Companies in the passenger transport sector, especially those capable of offering tailored transportation services with suitable vehicles and drivers, stand to benefit significantly. The focus on inclusivity for smaller enterprises and social ventures underscores the scope for businesses aiming to expand their footprint in public transport or education-related services.
