Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Braunstone Frith Primary Academy. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in England. The procurement is a service contract for school-related passenger transport, rather than a general vehicle supply or fleet purchase. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The named requirement is specific to Braunstone Frith Primary Academy and is identified as transport for the journey described in the procurement title. Businesses providing taxi operations, school transport or other passenger vehicles with drivers would find the subject matter relevant, particularly where they can deliver scheduled journeys for a school and work with a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 21 August 2026 for £30,654 GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 21 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement is for services, with the requirement evaluated through the mini-competition route under the Council’s passenger transport DPS. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots or additional award recipients are recorded.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for school passenger transport delivered by taxis or passenger vehicles with drivers. A credible future competitor would need an operational taxi or private-hire passenger transport service, suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified drivers and the capacity to provide reliable scheduled journeys for a primary academy. Experience of school transport and the practical demands of working with a local authority would strengthen a supplier’s position, although those capabilities are not stated as mandatory conditions here. The requirement was suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, showing that the Council’s DPS route can accommodate organisations beyond large transport operators. Suppliers should therefore be able to operate through the Council’s DPS mini-competition process and demonstrate dependable local delivery.
