## Summary

Leicester City Council has concluded an open procurement process for the “34962 - ELLESMERE COLLEGE” project, focusing on the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers across several regions in the United Kingdom, including London, Midlands, and others. Classified under the CPV code 60170000, this service-oriented contract was awarded on 22nd July 2024, with the contract period running from 28th August 2024 to 31st July 2028. The contracting authority, located in Leicester, concluded the procurement using an open procedure. Key dates included the tender end date on 22nd July 2024, with Gemini Devani serving as the contact point for Leicester City Council.

This contract offers significant growth opportunities, especially for large-scale businesses specialising in transport services, as the awarded contractor, AZOOM Taxis, is identified as a large entity. The open nature of the procurement method ensures broad participation potential, yet it may not be ideal for Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) or Voluntary, Community, and Social Enterprises (VCSEs), as the procurement was not deemed suitable for such organisations. Enterprises equipped with the capacity to provide extensive transportation services across multiple UK regions would find substantial benefit and opportunities in similar tenders to expand their market presence.
