Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for the journey associated with Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to support transport connected with the school. This is a small, specific school transport requirement rather than a broad passenger transport operation. Businesses with taxi or private-hire vehicle operations, and operators able to provide journeys with drivers, are the most directly relevant. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi services for council requirements.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 10 August 2026, with submissions due by 9:00am on 10 August 2026. Hansom Taxis was selected for a value of £15,210. The procurement states an overall contract period from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, while the award record gives a contract period from 24 to 31 August 2026. The tender is marked complete and the award is active. The process used a mini-competition route within the DPS. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates that Leicester City Council buys defined school-related passenger journeys through mini-competitions under its passenger transport DPS. A credible competitor would need an established taxi or private-hire operation, suitable passenger vehicles, licensed drivers and the operational capacity to provide dependable journeys associated with a school requirement. The buyer’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises indicates that the route is not limited to large transport groups. Firms seeking comparable council work should be able to respond to individual journey requirements through the DPS, price a focused transport service, and maintain sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for the required service period.
