Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought a taxi journey through a passenger transport services arrangement. The requirement is described as the journey named in the title, but that title does not identify a destination or route. The service falls within taxi services and hire of passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is recorded in the East Midlands, United Kingdom; Leicester City Council is based in Leicester. The procurement was a single journey requirement rather than a stated wider transport programme. It was run as a mini-competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable for this type of work.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system. Leicester City Council selected Everest Taxis. The award value was £9,750. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 5 October to 18 December 2026. The original submission deadline was 30 September 2026. The process is described as a mini-competition, but no separate evaluation criteria or weighting are reported. The requirement is recorded as one item, with no separate lots identified. The award is active. The contract period and award value relate to this specific journey requirement, rather than a broader taxi services arrangement.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys individual taxi journeys through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, rather than awarding this requirement as a general taxi-services contract. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide taxi transport and, where required, passenger vehicles with drivers, and be able to respond to journey-specific competitions through the Council’s system. The recorded requirement was small in scope and time-limited, so firms able to organise transport for a defined journey and deliver it within a short contract period are relevant. The award went to Everest Taxis, demonstrating that a taxi supplier was selected for this work. Small and medium-sized businesses are considered suitable for these requirements, providing a route for smaller operators as well as larger firms.
