Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey to Homefield College in Mountsorrel. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service concerns transport for passengers travelling on the route identified by the Homefield College requirement. This is a local passenger transport opportunity suited to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other providers able to deliver reliable, driver-operated journeys in and around Leicester and Mountsorrel. The procurement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender submission deadline was 26 August 2026 at 9:00am. Hansom taxis LTD was awarded the contract for £53,808. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement used the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route for passenger transport services. The award covers the journey described in the Homefield College, Mountsorrel requirement. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. No separate lots or additional award outcomes are identified for this requirement.

This award demonstrates recurring local authority demand for dedicated passenger transport serving an education destination. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to provide taxi or private-hire passenger transport with appropriately licensed, dependable drivers and the operational capacity to deliver a specified journey consistently over an extended service period. Familiarity with routes around Leicester, Mountsorrel and the wider East Midlands would support reliable delivery. The opportunity is accessible in scale to an SME, as shown by the selected supplier’s classification. Firms should also be able to respond through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and compete effectively in its mini-competitions, with clear arrangements for vehicle availability, driver cover and day-to-day service continuity.
