Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for a journey identified as Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is described as transport for that journey, covering taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in England; Leicester is the buying council’s location. This is a school-related transport requirement, rather than a general vehicle hire contract, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide passenger journeys for the school route. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport services programme, which uses a dynamic purchasing system for taxi services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to City Rides Leicester Ltd following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 22 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £19,867. The contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was for services, and the tender deadline was 22 October 2026. The process was a mini-competition within the existing system; the recorded method is described as “Other”. No separate lots are shown. The award record identifies one supplier and an active award. The stated procurement is for the school journey, with the transport service provided by taxi or a passenger vehicle with driver.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for school-linked passenger transport, procured through a mini-competition in its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to be able to operate taxi or passenger-vehicle journeys for a defined school route and meet the Council’s requirements for passenger transport services. The award went to a large supplier, while the opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller operators may also be relevant to this market. Firms considering similar Council work should be positioned to provide reliable, route-specific transport and to participate in competitions through the Council’s system. The requirement is specifically school transport, not broader vehicle hire or unrelated transport services.
