Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey associated with Mellor Community Primary School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, intended to transport passengers rather than provide vehicles alone. The work is delivered in England. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a school transport requirement under the Council’s passenger transport arrangements, and the procurement is classified as taxi services, with vehicle hire and driver support as an additional category. It is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private hire firms and passenger transport providers able to undertake scheduled school journeys for the Council.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The stated procurement method was an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 22 July 2026 for £31,181. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 9:00 am. The recorded basis for the procurement is the provision of transport services for the journey named in the title; the award record identifies Skyline Taxis as the selected supplier. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi or private hire capacity supporting a named primary-school journey, with delivery over a substantial multi-year service period. A competitor considering similar Council work would need reliable passenger transport vehicles, appropriately qualified drivers and the operational capacity to provide consistent scheduled journeys for school passengers. The relevant route to market is the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, followed by mini-competitions. Credibility would therefore depend on being able to operate as a taxi or passenger transport provider, respond to mini-competition requirements and sustain dependable service delivery for the Council’s education-related transport needs. The procurement was explicitly suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
