Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured a passenger transport service for a journey identified in the procurement title, using taxi services and a passenger vehicle with driver. The work was to be delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement was arranged as an individual journey rather than a broad transport service, with the council as the buyer. This is a small, specific taxi assignment, relevant to operators able to provide passenger transport for council requirements in the area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to hansom taxis following a mini-competition under the council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 28 September 2026, and the awarded value was £66. The contract period runs from 14 to 15 October 2026. The submission deadline was 28 September 2026. The procurement records a taxi-services category and a passenger transport vehicle with driver. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to participate. The published information does not state a separate scoring breakdown or further selection requirements.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system to place small, journey-specific taxi assignments through mini-competitions. A future competitor for this requirement would need to operate taxi or chauffeured passenger transport services and be able to fulfil individual journeys in the East Midlands. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller operators can be relevant suppliers for this type of work. Credibility depends on being able to respond to the council’s competition route and deliver the specified passenger journey; the award itself does not identify further technical, accreditation or capacity requirements.
