Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the Rose Education Provision journey named in the requirement. The work is passenger transport, specifically taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in England. The requirement is intended for suppliers able to provide suitable vehicles and drivers for council-arranged journeys, rather than for the supply of vehicles alone. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport requirements and concerns a defined journey service for education provision. Businesses operating taxi services, private hire vehicles or other passenger transport with drivers are the relevant market, including smaller organisations and voluntary, community or social enterprises that can meet the operational requirements.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Skyline Taxis was awarded the contract on 25 August 2026 for £41,418 GBP. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 25 August 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was categorised as a services contract, covering taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The published award is active. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award information records one supplier and one contract value.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for education-related passenger transport delivered by taxi or private hire vehicles with drivers. A credible competitor for similar council work would need reliable access to suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately capable drivers and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently throughout the contract period. Experience of council or education transport would help demonstrate understanding of safeguarding, punctuality, passenger care, route planning and communication requirements, although those specific qualifications are not stated as selection conditions here. The route to market is the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competitions, so suppliers need to be able to participate through that purchasing arrangement. The procurement is also relevant to SMEs and VCSEs.
