Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Elmbrook School. The requirement is categorised as taxi services, with an additional classification covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. It is a service contract for transporting passengers in England, bought and managed by Leicester City Council. The wording indicates a specific school-related journey rather than a general transport network or fleet-wide service. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators, private-hire vehicle companies and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for school travel. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport service requirements and demonstrates demand for dedicated, contracted transport supporting an educational setting.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 17 August 2026 to AIZEL CABS. The awarded contract value is £18,837. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services, rather than a standalone open tender. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 9.00am. The procurement method was recorded as ‘Other’, and the requirement was classified as a services procurement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

For a supplier assessing future work from Leicester City Council, this award shows a defined market for school passenger transport delivered through the Council’s passenger transport DPS and mini-competitions. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver a reliable, dedicated school journey in England. Relevant strengths include dependable scheduling, passenger safety procedures, appropriately maintained and insured vehicles, and the operational capacity to provide consistent service throughout the contract term. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types, so the requirement is not limited to large national transport companies. Firms already positioned to participate in the Council’s DPS, or able to meet its qualification requirements, would be best placed to pursue comparable school transport requirements when they return to market.
