Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the “Families Together” journey. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, intended to transport passengers in the East Midlands. This is a council-arranged service requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles or general fleet hire. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The work is categorised as services and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle firms and passenger transport providers able to undertake scheduled journeys for the council. The requirement concerns a specific transport journey under the council’s passenger transport arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS was awarded the contract for £7,796. The contract period runs from 23 July 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 20 July 2026 at 9:00am. The award was made through the council’s DPS route for taxi and passenger transport services. The published outcome records one active award to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS. The procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For transport businesses, this award demonstrates a defined council demand for taxi or private-hire passenger transport supporting a Families Together journey in the East Midlands. A credible future supplier would need suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers, the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys reliably and the ability to manage council transport requirements. Experience of contracted passenger services, dependable dispatch and driver availability would strengthen a supplier’s position. The procurement route is also significant: suppliers seeking comparable Leicester City Council work would need to understand and qualify for the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, then compete for individual journeys through mini-competitions.
