Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for journeys associated with The Magpie Learning Centre. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with additional coverage for hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buyer and the service sits within its passenger transport needs. This is a transport operation rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general facilities contract. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport companies able to provide driven journeys for the learning centre. The procurement concerns a specific journey requirement under the council’s wider passenger transport arrangements, rather than a broad transport network or fleet-management service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 29 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. Hansom Airport Taxis Ltd was awarded the contract for £23,388 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active. The published procurement information identifies the service category and procedure, while the award records one supplier for the requirement. The opportunity is therefore an award outcome, not an invitation to submit a tender.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for individually specified passenger journeys delivered by taxi or other driven passenger transport. A credible competitor would need reliable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers, dependable scheduling and the operational capacity to provide the required journeys consistently for a learning-centre service. Familiarity with council passenger transport requirements and the ability to participate through a dynamic purchasing system mini-competition would be important. The stated suitability settings do not reserve the requirement for small and medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that established operators with sufficient dispatch, compliance and service-management capacity are well placed for comparable council requirements.
