Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey identified as Headway Day Centre. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering passenger travel in the East Midlands. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The Council is the buyer and the service relates to its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement concerns a specific transport journey under that wider arrangement, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide a driver and deliver scheduled journeys for the Council. The requirement is classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with CPV 60170000 covering passenger transport vehicles with driver.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 September 2026 following a mini competition under the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated procedure was open. The tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 9:00am. CROWNHILLS was awarded the contract for £25,740. The tender record gives a contract period from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, while the award record gives an award period from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active. The contract was evaluated through the mini-competition process; the available procurement information identifies the requirement, route and selected supplier but does not set out the award criteria or weightings. The opportunity was not divided into separate lots.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys through its Dynamic Purchasing System, using mini competitions rather than a standalone procurement route. A credible future competitor would need to be an established taxi or passenger transport operator with suitable vehicles, licensed drivers and the operational capacity to provide reliable scheduled journeys in the East Midlands. The requirement is suited to businesses that can manage recurring council transport work, meet journey-specific instructions and maintain dependable day-to-day service delivery. CROWNHILLS is recorded as a large supplier, indicating that the buyer has selected a provider with substantial organisational capacity for this requirement. Taxi firms seeking similar Council work should understand the DPS process and be prepared to respond to individual journey competitions.
