Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport for a journey serving Elmbrook School. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver, supporting transport to or from the school. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is a school-journey transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles; suppliers in taxi and passenger transport operations are the relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to azoOm taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 5 October 2026. The awarded value is £39,897. The contract runs from 6 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published information describes one school journey requirement and does not indicate a division into lots. The stated process was a mini-competition; no further evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements are set out in the available process details. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated taxi or driver-provided passenger transport serving a school journey. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to organise reliable passenger transport on the specified route and meet the practical needs of school travel. The Council used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so familiarity with participating in that route would be relevant. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller operators and community-focused providers were considered eligible to compete. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, showing that established operators can also satisfy this requirement. The contract provides evidence of a sustained, defined school transport service rather than a one-off vehicle hire.
