Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey associated with Pindar Nursery. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers, intended to provide transport for the nursery journey. This is a passenger transport services contract rather than a vehicle supply or general facilities service. The work is delivered in England, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The opportunity is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle companies and passenger transport providers able to organise and deliver a reliable, driver-led journey for a public-sector client. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations with the appropriate operating capability.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AZOOM TAXIS on 22 July 2026. The awarded value is £27,378. The contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 9:00am. The requirement was treated as a services procurement. The available outcome records one active award to AZOOM TAXIS for the full stated requirement. The process was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations.

This award demonstrates a defined, recurring need from Leicester City Council for driver-led transport serving a named nursery journey. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger vehicles, provide appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and manage scheduled journeys consistently for a public-sector service user. Experience of school or nursery transport, safeguarding-sensitive passenger services, route planning, punctuality and contingency arrangements would strengthen a supplier’s position. The route to market is also clear: suppliers need to understand and participate in the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, then respond effectively to its mini-competitions. Smaller operators and social enterprises are expressly within the suitable supplier profile.
