Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey identified as Homefield College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, placing it within passenger transport rather than general vehicle hire. The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to support passenger travel associated with Homefield College. This is a service contract suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. The requirement is specific to a passenger transport journey, so relevant providers are taxi operators and other businesses able to supply vehicles with drivers for the required service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 26 August 2026 to Everest Taxis. The awarded value is £64,350. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route, with the mini-competition determining the selected supplier. The published outcome identifies an active award to Everest Taxis and records the contract as complete. The opportunity was classified principally as taxi services, with an additional classification for passenger transport vehicles supplied with drivers.

This award indicates that Leicester City Council buys dedicated passenger transport for Homefield College through its Dynamic Purchasing System, using mini-competitions among eligible transport providers. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and have the operational capacity to provide a dependable, college-related journey over a sustained contract period. Providers should be able to respond to the council’s DPS mini-competition process and demonstrate that they can consistently deliver the specified route or journey. The contract’s suitability for SMEs shows that smaller taxi firms can be relevant when they have sufficient vehicles, drivers and day-to-day reliability to meet the council’s passenger transport requirement.
