Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey titled “The Shires at Stretton”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, with a CPV classification for taxi services (60120000). The service is delivered in England. It forms part of the Council’s passenger transport requirements and is intended for a specific journey rather than a general transport network. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, making it relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers with the vehicles, drivers and operating arrangements needed to deliver scheduled journeys for the Council.

This procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 22 July 2026 to AZOOM TAXIS. The awarded contract value is £85,644, inclusive of the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used a service contract route within the Council’s passenger transport DPS. The award is recorded as active, and the tender is recorded as complete. The opportunity concerns one stated journey, rather than separately identified lots or multiple awards, and the award value and contract period apply to the selected supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and driver-provided passenger transport on a defined journey. A credible competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide appropriately managed drivers and reliably deliver planned journeys in England. Taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport businesses can be relevant, particularly where they can support Council transport requirements through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to mini-competitions. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that participation is not limited to large national transport companies. Businesses building capability in Council-compliant tendering, operational reliability and journey-specific service delivery would be well placed for comparable requirements from this buyer.
