Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the Keyham Lodge journey. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. This is a managed transport service rather than a vehicle-only supply: the selected provider is expected to provide passenger travel using vehicles and drivers. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport requirements and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle firms and other businesses able to provide driver-led passenger transport in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Everest Taxis was awarded the contract on 28 August 2026 for £14,040 including the stated GBP currency. The tender period ended at 09:00 on 28 August 2026. The tender contract period was stated as 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2028, while the award record gives the awarded period as 8 September 2026 to 31 August 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement method is recorded as “Other” and the award evaluation basis is not set out in the available process information.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for driver-led passenger transport connected with Keyham Lodge and delivered in the East Midlands. Businesses well placed for a future requirement would be established taxi or private-hire operators able to provide suitable passenger vehicles, licensed drivers and dependable journey delivery. Operational capability matters more than vehicle supply alone: providers need to coordinate vehicles and drivers, meet scheduled journeys and maintain reliable service standards. The route used was a Council Dynamic Purchasing System followed by a mini-competition, so suppliers seeking comparable work should be able to qualify for and operate through that purchasing route. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs.
