Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, placing it within the wider passenger transport sector. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service supports transport provision connected with Leicester College. The work is service-based rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and drivers. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a requirement for operators able to provide council-arranged journeys through that purchasing route.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 31 July 2026 to Prime1 Taxis. The awarded value is £33,673 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 31 July 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used a service procedure described as “Other” in the record. It was a single requirement rather than a lot-based award. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, and the tender was evaluated through the mini-competition process.

The award demonstrates an established council requirement for contracted taxi and passenger transport capacity linked to Leicester College journeys. Businesses well placed for comparable work would be licensed taxi or private-hire operators, passenger transport providers and fleet operators able to supply vehicles with drivers. Credibility would depend on reliable day-to-day service delivery, suitable vehicle availability, competent drivers and the operational capacity to fulfil scheduled journeys in the East Midlands. Small and medium-sized firms are an indicated fit for this type of council requirement. Suppliers seeking similar work would also benefit from understanding and qualifying for Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, since mini-competitions under that route are used to select operators for individual transport requirements.
