Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37060 – Inglehurst Infant School”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, supporting transport to or from the school. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council acting as the buyer. This is a service contract rather than a supply of vehicles or a construction project. The stated primary classification is taxi services, with vehicle hire and driver services as an additional category. Businesses operating passenger transport services, taxi firms and providers able to deliver contracted school journeys are the relevant market.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 27 July 2026, when Skyline Taxis was selected. The awarded value is £20,124. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 9am. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the contract covers the single stated school transport requirement. The process used the council’s DPS route rather than a standalone open tender.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for scheduled passenger transport connected with Inglehurst Infant School, delivered by taxi or passenger vehicle operators with drivers. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable school-journey transport, suitable vehicles and appropriately capable drivers, together with the operational capacity to deliver the specified route consistently throughout the service period. The requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be well placed where they can meet the council’s service and operational expectations. Taxi firms should also understand the council’s DPS mini-competition route, as this is the route used for the award.
