Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Tudor Grange Samworth Academy. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, intended to transport passengers in the East Midlands. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a specific education-related transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so it is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys in the East Midlands. The procurement sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating that the council uses this route for individual transport requirements and mini-competitions.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Skyline Taxis received the active award on 24 August 2026 for £33,228 including the stated GBP currency. The award contract period runs from 25 August to 25 September 2026. The tender records the wider contract period as 8 to 25 September 2026, and the submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9:00am. The service category is services, with suitability recorded for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award was made to a single supplier for the requirement, which concerned one stated academy journey.

For future requirements of this kind, credible competitors will need to operate taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver scheduled journeys linked to an educational setting in the East Midlands. The award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for a defined, short-duration passenger transport service procured through a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System. Firms should therefore be able to participate through the council’s DPS route, respond to individual journey requirements and provide dependable operational capacity for the required period. The recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist operators and mission-led providers can be relevant competitors, alongside established taxi businesses. Evidence of reliable vehicles, appropriately capable drivers and consistent service delivery would support credibility.
