Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “37189 - contact”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting passenger travel in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester, England. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The procurement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system and was run as a mini-competition for a specific transport journey. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire providers and other passenger transport businesses able to provide driver-led journeys for the Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. Skyline Taxis was selected on 7 September 2026 for an award of £54, with the contract running from 10 September 2026 to 11 September 2026. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 09:00. The procurement used the Council’s dynamic purchasing system route rather than a standalone open tender. The award is recorded as active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The evaluation basis is not detailed beyond the mini-competition process.

For a taxi or passenger transport operator, this award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system to place specific journey requirements through mini-competitions. A credible competitor would need to provide licensed taxi or private-hire vehicles, suitably qualified and reliable drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled passenger journeys in the East Midlands. Businesses positioned to respond quickly to individual transport requirements may be well suited to this route. The recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that participation is not limited to large national transport companies. Experience of local-authority transport, dependable journey fulfilment and the ability to meet Council booking and service requirements would strengthen a future response.
