Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “St Andrews”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering transport provision in the East Midlands. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement is a service requirement delivered through passenger transport operations rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire firms and other businesses able to provide driver-led passenger journeys for the Council. The published scope identifies one journey, with the service classified primarily as taxi services and additionally as the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers.

The procurement has been awarded and is complete. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, using an open procedure. The award was made on 27 August 2026 to SKYLINE TAXIS for £7,332. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 1 January 2027. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 9:00am. The requirement was treated as a single service opportunity. Evaluation led to the active award to the named supplier. The procurement records the service as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The stated scope is the St Andrews passenger journey.

This award indicates that Leicester City Council uses competitive call-offs from its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system to secure individual taxi and driver-led passenger journeys. Competitors would need to operate a taxi or private hire passenger transport service capable of delivering the specified journey reliably in the East Midlands, with suitable vehicles and drivers. Credibility would come from demonstrable operational capacity, dependable dispatch and scheduling, and the ability to meet the Council’s requirements for passenger transport delivery. Firms considering future Council opportunities should understand the dynamic purchasing system route and be prepared to compete for journey-specific requirements rather than assume a large bundled transport contract. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating a competitive environment in which established transport capacity may be advantageous.
