Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as West Gate School, under reference 37080. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The service is intended to provide transport for a school journey rather than the supply of vehicles alone. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi and driver-provided passenger transport requirements. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are licensed or otherwise established passenger transport operators able to provide school-related journeys in the East Midlands for Leicester City Council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The award date was 24 July 2026. HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD was awarded the contract for £20,931. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 24 July 2026 at 9:00am. The published suitability assessment marked the requirement as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The procurement was evaluated through the mini-competition process within the Council’s passenger transport DPS.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined Leicester City Council demand for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport connected with school travel. A credible competitor would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers, organise reliable journeys in the East Midlands and meet the operational expectations of a public-sector school transport service. The awarded supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the Council’s stated sourcing approach favours established operators with sufficient organisational scale. Experience delivering dependable, scheduled passenger transport for public bodies or schools would strengthen a future competing offer for this buyer.
