Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as Oaklands School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for transporting passengers to or from the school. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement is a services contract focused on a specific school transport journey rather than a general passenger transport framework. It forms part of the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used to source transport operators for individual requirements through further competitions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 23 July 2026 to Hansom Airport Taxis. The award value is £23,388 including the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It was awarded through a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The tender submission deadline was 23 July 2026 at 09:00. The published information identifies the procurement route and the transport service required, but does not set out a separate weighted evaluation basis. Leicester City Council recorded the successful award as active, with Hansom Airport Taxis as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related passenger transport in the East Midlands, bought by Leicester City Council through a Dynamic Purchasing System and competed as an individual mini competition. Businesses considering comparable future requirements would need to provide taxi services or passenger vehicles with drivers and have the operational capacity to deliver a dedicated school journey reliably. The Council’s route favours transport operators able to participate in DPS mini competitions and respond to specific journey requirements rather than only offering general fleet services. The award also indicates that the requirement is suitable for an established, larger transport operator, rather than being reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
