Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey identified in the requirement title, using taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The work is a transport service for the Council, delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement is associated with the Council’s passenger transport services framework and concerns a specific journey rather than a general transport service across multiple routes.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxi through a mini-competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The Council used an open procedure. The award date was 8 October 2026, and the contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded value is £25,705. The tender deadline was 8 October 2026. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published procurement information does not set out further evaluation criteria for selecting the supplier.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys taxi transport for individual journeys through competition within its passenger transport purchasing system. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, with the operational capacity to fulfil the specified journey reliably. The Council indicated that small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises could participate, so the requirement was not confined to larger suppliers. Hansom Taxi was selected for this contract, demonstrating that a taxi operator could meet the Council’s requirement through the mini-competition route. Credibility for similar work rests on being able to deliver the defined journey and participate in the Council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangements.
