Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for Sanatan Manavta Day Centre. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for journeys delivered in England. The named buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at Passenger & Transport Services, Sulgrave Road, Leicester. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. It is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for a council day-centre service. The procurement title identifies the requirement as reference 37139 and links it specifically to Sanatan Manavta Day Centre.

The procurement has been awarded following an open procedure. Leicester City Council selected Smart Plus Taxis as supplier on 19 August 2026. The awarded value is £15,210. The award contract period is 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender record gives an estimated contract period of 21 August 2026 to 31 July 2028, with the tender closing on 19 August 2026 at 09:00. The evaluation basis is not described beyond the use of an open procedure. The completed procurement therefore records a single awarded taxi and passenger transport service for the named day centre, rather than multiple lots or separately awarded requirements.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined council requirement for driver-led transport supporting a named day centre in England. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, provide suitable vehicles and reliable drivers, and manage journeys consistently for a public-sector customer. The successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation, so businesses considering similar work should assess whether they have sufficient operational capacity, dispatch and scheduling arrangements, driver availability and service resilience. Experience of delivering dependable passenger transport for councils, care settings or day-centre users would help demonstrate a close fit with this buyer’s requirement when it returns to the market.
