Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey associated with Brooke House School. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering passenger travel in England. This is a service contract within the passenger transport sector, intended to provide scheduled journeys rather than vehicle supply alone. The council is the buying organisation and the work involves transporting passengers to or from the school on the journey identified in the requirement. Businesses active in taxi operations, school transport, private-hire services or chauffeured passenger transport would have the closest commercial fit, particularly those able to provide reliable, driver-operated vehicles for recurring education-related travel.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 August 2026 to ELITE TAXIS. The award followed a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded value is £22,815 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender had a submission deadline of 20 August 2026 at 9:00am. This was a services procurement for taxi and driver-operated passenger transport. The award is active, and the selected supplier is ELITE TAXIS. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and mini competitions to source school-related taxi and passenger transport. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger services, provide suitable vehicles with qualified drivers, and deliver dependable journeys connected with Brooke House School. The requirement is relevant to operators experienced in education transport, regular passenger journeys and working to council booking and service arrangements. Small and medium-sized firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this type of work, so the route is not limited to large transport companies. Firms building a track record in punctuality, safeguarding-conscious service delivery and operational resilience would be well placed when comparable requirements return.
