Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured a short passenger transport journey to Barnes Heath House, using taxi services and a vehicle with a driver. The requirement is described as the journey named in the procurement title; no further route or passenger details are provided. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a local authority requirement for point-to-point transport rather than a wider transport network or fleet service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to hansom taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 12 October 2026, and the contract runs from 19 to 20 October 2026. Its awarded value is £54. The stated tender deadline was 12 October 2026 at 09:00. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable. The record does not set out the evaluation criteria or any additional eligibility requirements.

For taxi operators, the award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s use of its passenger transport purchasing system to source individual journeys through mini-competitions. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to provide suitable passenger transport, including a vehicle with a driver, and be able to fulfil a specific journey to the named destination. The small contract scale points to a discrete trip rather than a large transport operation; smaller operators may therefore find this type of requirement relevant, although the successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation. Experience delivering reliable, appropriately coordinated taxi journeys for council requirements would be commercially relevant when competing for this buyer’s comparable transport work.
