Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a specified journey, using taxi services and vehicles with drivers. The requirement is a journey-specific transport contract rather than a general fleet purchase. The delivery location is recorded as the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buyer, and the selected supplier is a taxi operator. This requirement forms part of the council’s passenger transport activity, procured through its dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The work is relevant to operators able to provide taxi or other passenger transport with drivers for council journeys in the stated delivery area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded after a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system. SKYLINE TAXIS was selected on 14 October 2026 for an award value of £10,179. The award contract period runs from 26 October to 31 December 2026; the tender’s stated contract period begins on 20 October and ends on 31 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 14 October 2026. The procurement is recorded as a services contract, with the method described as “Other”. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are recorded in the process data. The award is active.

For a taxi operator, this award demonstrates council demand for journey-specific passenger transport delivered by vehicles with drivers, rather than a broad transport network or vehicle supply alone. SKYLINE TAXIS, recorded as a large supplier, secured the work, showing that established operators can compete for this type of council requirement through a mini-competition in the passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable taxi and driver capacity and reliably fulfil the journey specified by the council. The commercial relevance is strongest for operators already equipped to provide council passenger transport and capable of responding to individual journey requirements through a DPS mini-competition.
