Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has recently awarded a contract under the title "36746 - home to school and contact" within the Taxi Services category. This contract, following a Mini Competition under the Council's Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services (DPS PAN3059), is for taxi services covering the East Midlands region in the United Kingdom. The contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis, with a total value of £3,541. The procurement process has reached the award stage, with key dates including the tender period ending on 15th January 2026 and the contract period running from 19th January 2026 to 27th February 2026. Although the procurement method was specified as "Other", the specific procedure included a dynamic purchasing system, indicative of broader flexibility in the process.

This procurement offers opportunities for businesses specialising in passenger transport services, particularly those capable of providing taxi or passenger vehicle hire services with drivers. While the competition has concluded for this specific contract, companies interested in similar future tenders may want to consider participation in Leicester City Council's Dynamic Purchasing System, which could lead to ongoing business opportunities in public transport services. Businesses with experience in managing contractual transport services and those looking to expand their presence in the East Midlands region would find this an attractive opportunity to collaborate with public buying entities such as local councils. This type of contract is well-suited for large-scale transport providers that are not classified as SME or VCSE, given the size and scope requirements.
