Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for the journey identified as The Arc School Ansley. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, including the provision of transport for the relevant school journey. It is a service contract delivered in England. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is aimed at businesses able to provide passenger transport using taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating that the buyer uses this route for transport requirements of this type.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, reference PAN3059. The award was made to HMB TAXIS on 4 September 2026 for £70,177. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender period ended on 4 September 2026 at 9.00am. The procurement is for services and was evaluated through the mini-competition route under the Council’s DPS. The award is active, with one supplier selected for the requirement. The published contract outcome therefore records an awarded, rather than prospective, opportunity.

This award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated school-related passenger transport delivered by taxi or other passenger vehicles with drivers. Competitors serving the Council would need to provide reliable taxi and passenger transport operations, suitable vehicles, and drivers capable of delivering the specified school journey. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, so smaller local operators may be credible participants alongside larger firms. Businesses seeking comparable Council work would need to qualify for and operate through the Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, then compete effectively in its mini competitions for individual transport requirements.
