Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Leicester Partnership School: a taxi journey service, including vehicles supplied with drivers. The work is for transporting passengers on the journey identified by the school requirement. The stated delivery location is England; no more specific destination is identified. This is a local authority requirement within the passenger transport services category, focused on a school journey rather than general-purpose taxi provision. It was run through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using a mini-competition for this particular journey. The requirement indicates demand for a provider able to deliver dependable, driver-operated transport for the school over an ongoing service period.

The procurement has been awarded. Leicester City Council selected Hansom Airport Taxis following a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award was made on 25 September 2026, for £26,793. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The notice classifies the procurement method as “Other”, without giving a more specific method. The award record names one supplier and one award, with no lot-level breakdown. Leicester Partnership School is the named requirement. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to take part. No evaluation criteria are described in the available process details, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed is not set out here.

This award demonstrates a specific Leicester City Council requirement for taxi transport serving Leicester Partnership School, bought through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and competed for via a mini-competition. For a future equivalent requirement, a credible supplier would need to provide driver-operated passenger transport for a defined school journey and sustain the service over a substantial contract period. The scale indicated by this individual award is a focused school transport service rather than a broad transport network. The Council identified SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants, so smaller and mission-led providers may be relevant competitors as well as established taxi operators. Hansom Airport Taxis was selected for this contract; its selection evidences the type of provider that secured this requirement, but the procurement details do not describe specific vehicle, staffing, safeguarding or accreditation standards.
