## Summary

Leicester City Council has completed the procurement process titled "35898 - BARLEY CROFT" for the hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver. The procurement falls under the services category and covers multiple regions in England, including the North East, North West, Yorkshire and the Humber, East Midlands, West Midlands, East of England, London, South East, and South West. An open procedure was used for this tender. The tender period ended on 28 October 2024, and the contract period will run from 7 November 2024 to 31 July 2028. The total estimated value of the contract is £54.89.

This tender presents substantial business growth opportunities for firms specialising in the provision of transport services with drivers. The large scale of the contract, valued at £51,012, awarded to One Express, suggests that businesses with the capacity to manage extensive service areas will be well-suited to compete. This opportunity is particularly significant for large-scale operators in the transport sector, given the broad regional coverage required across England. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) were deemed unsuitable for this procurement process, indicating the preference for larger, more established providers. The contracting authority, Leicester City Council, can be contacted through Sarah Knight for further details.
