Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey associated with Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with the additional provision of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. It falls within the services category and is intended for delivery in the East Midlands. The arrangement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for a local authority and a school-related requirement. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The awarded supplier was a taxi business, indicating that the requirement can be delivered by a specialist operator rather than only by a large transport group.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 August 2026 to hansom taxis. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded value is £15,198 including the published currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 09:00 BST. The process used the Council’s dynamic purchasing system route rather than a standalone open tender. The opportunity was identified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with CPV 60170000 covering passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The contract was awarded as a single requirement to one supplier.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for school-related passenger transport delivered through taxi and private-hire capability. A credible future competitor would need suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed and experienced drivers, reliable scheduling and the capacity to provide consistent journeys throughout a substantial contract term. Firms should also be able to operate within the East Midlands and meet the Council’s requirements for passenger transport services. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so specialist local operators can be commercially relevant alongside larger transport providers. Experience of council or education transport would strengthen a future response.
