Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for a journey identified in the tender title, which is “FTM DANCE”. The service is described as transport, with taxi services and passenger vehicles supplied with a driver as the relevant categories of work. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The procurement forms part of the Council’s passenger transport services dynamic purchasing system and was run as a mini-competition under that system. The available description does not explain the journey route or passenger requirements, so the stated scope is limited to providing transport for the named journey.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis on 13 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £19,773. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The Council used a mini-competition under its dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 13 October 2026. This was a single transport requirement, with no separate lot awards recorded. No evaluation criteria or specific eligibility conditions are included in the process details. The outcome identifies one selected supplier and one award; the value and contract period relate to this awarded requirement, not to any wider purchasing system.

For taxi and chauffeur-driven passenger transport providers, this award demonstrates that Leicester City Council buys journey-specific transport through mini-competitions within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The selected supplier was a large business, and the published suitability assessment did not identify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide passenger transport and be positioned to participate in the Council’s DPS mini-competitions. The stated requirement is narrow: transport for a journey described as “FTM DANCE”; the process gives no detail on route, passenger numbers, vehicle type or service capability beyond transport. Suppliers should therefore view this award as evidence of the buyer’s taxi and driver-provided passenger transport purchasing, rather than evidence of a broader transport contract.
