Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Quorn Hall School. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering delivery in the East Midlands. The service sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangement and is intended to provide transport for the named school journey. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport businesses able to provide driver-led school transport for Leicester City Council. The Council is the buying organisation and its Passenger & Transport Services function is based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure, with tender submissions due by 23 July 2026 at 9am. The contract was awarded on 23 July 2026 to Shafi-Ullah Adam (Adam’s Transport) for £26,910. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £26,910. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement covers one school transport journey rather than multiple stated lots.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined requirement for driver-led taxi or passenger transport supporting a school journey in the East Midlands. Credible suppliers would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and manage regular transport delivery over a sustained contract period. Taxi firms and other passenger transport operators already able to work within a council purchasing system would be well placed, particularly smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Experience of school transport, dependable journey planning, safeguarding-focused operations and consistent service management would strengthen a future response. The route to market is a council Dynamic Purchasing System followed by a mini-competition, so suppliers should be able to participate in that process.
