Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37308 - Hinckley House School”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, supporting transport to or from Hinckley House School. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent taxi operators, passenger transport businesses and other firms able to provide reliable, driver-operated vehicle services for a school journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Everest Taxis LTD was selected on 18 September 2026 for £60,840 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The wider tender records a service period ending on 31 July 2028, while the award specifies the shorter period above. The tender deadline was 18 September 2026 at 09:00. This was a services procurement using the Council’s DPS route, with the requirement evaluated through the mini-competition process. There were no separate lots recorded.

Although this award is complete, it provides a clear reference point for firms targeting similar Leicester City Council requirements. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and deliver dependable journeys connected with a school setting in the East Midlands. The opportunity is suitable for SMEs, so smaller local operators may be commercially relevant if they can provide the required vehicle and driver capacity. Firms should be able to respond to mini-competitions issued through the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and demonstrate a service model suited to recurring passenger journeys. The selected supplier indicates demand for specialist taxi-based transport rather than general fleet supply or construction work.
