Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey to or from Homefield College, described as a taxi service with a passenger transport vehicle and driver. The requirement is delivered in the East Midlands. It sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services arrangements and is intended to provide transport for the college journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The work is a service rather than the supply of vehicles or goods, and is focused on transporting passengers with a driver. This is a specific route requirement under the Council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangements, rather than a broad transport operation covering multiple service categories or locations.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 11 September 2026 to AZOOM, with an awarded value of £38,493. The awarded contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying service category is taxi services, with vehicle hire with driver also covered. The process was for services and was recorded as complete at award. The published requirement identified the East Midlands as the delivery area. The procurement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. No lots or separate evaluation weightings are recorded.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated passenger transport linked to Homefield College, procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi or passenger transport vehicle services with drivers and the operational capacity to deliver a college journey reliably across the East Midlands. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the requirement was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a preference or expectation for substantial transport capacity. Relevant strengths would therefore include dependable vehicles, appropriately managed drivers, route planning and the ability to meet Council purchasing and service requirements through the DPS route.
