Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for a journey associated with Homefield College. The requirement covers taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The procurement is for a specific college-related journey rather than a general transport service; the available details do not describe the route or passenger arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS on 1 October 2026. The awarded value is £51,714. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The work was competed through a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using an open procedure. The tender deadline was 1 October 2026 at 09:00. The evaluation criteria are not stated in the available procurement details.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi and passenger transport for a Homefield College journey, procured through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to provide passenger journeys with a driver and be able to meet the Council’s service needs for the college. The Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so suppliers should consider whether their organisation has the scale to compete through this route.
