Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Millgate School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, supporting school-related travel. The work is classified under taxi services (CPV 60120000), with an additional classification for passenger transport vehicles with drivers (CPV 60170000). Delivery is in England. The council is based in Leicester and is the organisation purchasing the service. This is a service requirement suited to businesses operating taxis, private-hire vehicles or other driven passenger transport, particularly those able to provide reliable transport for a school journey and meet the operational requirements of the council’s passenger transport arrangements.

This procurement has been completed and awarded. Leicester City Council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, and selected Skyline Taxis as the supplier. The award was made on 27 July 2026 at a value of £13,923. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The procurement used the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route rather than a standalone open tender. The award relates to one transport requirement for Millgate School, with the contract covering the specified school journey and associated passenger transport service.

The award demonstrates recurring council demand for school passenger transport delivered by taxi or other driven passenger vehicles. Businesses well placed for similar requirements would be established taxi or private-hire operators with suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the capacity to provide dependable school transport over an extended service period. Operators should be able to manage scheduled journeys consistently, maintain vehicle and driver compliance, and respond to the council’s requirements through its passenger transport purchasing arrangements. The council’s identification of the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations indicates that smaller local operators can be relevant competitors, provided they have the operational resilience, safeguarding awareness and service reliability expected for journeys involving a school.
