Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has completed a procurement process for taxi services under the title "36402 - KINGSMEAD SCHOOL." Conducted via an open procedure and following a mini competition within the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services, the contract has been awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd. The procurement is classified under the industry category of "Taxi services" with additional classification for "Hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver." The contract, valued at £61,893, spans from 8th September 2025 to 31st July 2026, with services centred around the East Midlands region, United Kingdom. Key dates in the tender process included the tender period's conclusion on 4th September 2025.

This tender presents substantial opportunities for businesses specialising in transportation services, particularly those capable of offering large-scale transport solutions, as demonstrated by the awarded supplier, Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd. Although the procurement assessed suitability for SMEs and VCSEs, it was Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd, a large enterprise, that proved successful. Companies with similar operational scales to Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd, who can efficiently manage regional transport requirements, are well-placed to engage in similar procurement exercises in future, further enhancing their service portfolio and market presence.
