Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for a journey identified as “37119 – Beaumont Leys School”. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Beaumont Leys School journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a passenger transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire or wider school transport framework opportunity. It is relevant to operators providing taxi services or chauffeured passenger transport, particularly those able to deliver the specified school journey reliably and within the council’s operating arrangements. The procurement was run through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 following a mini competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated procedure was an open procedure. Aizel Cabs was awarded the contract for £13,104. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement had a tender deadline of 7 August 2026 at 9:00am. The award is active and covers the Beaumont Leys School passenger transport journey. Leicester City Council is the buyer. The procurement records the award to one supplier and provides no separate lot structure or additional award breakdown. At award stage, tenders were no longer being sought.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi and passenger transport operators tracking Leicester City Council’s school travel requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable vehicle-with-driver services for a named school journey, maintain sufficient operational capacity across the contract term and meet the council’s arrangements for participating in Dynamic Purchasing System mini competitions. The successful supplier, Aizel Cabs, is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses with established passenger transport operations, the ability to schedule regular school journeys and experience dealing with council procurement processes would be best placed to compete when comparable requirements return to the market.
