About

Leicester City Council is inviting transport providers to participate in a soft market test to inform future commissioning and delivery of Assisted Transport services. The council is seeking feedback on matters that may influence future service design and contracting, including route-based versus individual journey contracting, the potential use of block contracts, Passenger Assistant recruitment, training and workforce development, management and oversight of subcontracted transport, and how to maintain flexibility when service users' transport needs change at short notice, along with opportunities to improve service quality, sustainability and value for money. This soft market test is for information-gathering and market engagement only, does not form part of any procurement process, and participation is voluntary; responses will be considered alongside feedback from other stakeholders and wider market engagement activity. Completed surveys must be submitted through the EastMidsTenders Portal no later than 12:00 on the 26th October 2026.
