Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Woodfield School. The requirement is classified as taxi services and includes the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s transport need for the school journey. This is a local authority transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers. The named buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport requirements and concerns a defined school transport route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender value and awarded value are both £40,833. Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd was selected as supplier, with the award dated 24 August 2026. The contract period runs from 27 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The contract is for services and covers one defined school transport requirement. The award is active; no cancellation or termination is recorded.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined and recurring demand from Leicester City Council for school-related taxi and passenger transport services in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver a reliable, specified journey for a school over a sustained contract period. The successful supplier was a small or medium-sized enterprise, showing that this type of Council requirement can suit smaller transport operators rather than only large fleet businesses. Suppliers seeking similar work should understand the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and be prepared to compete through its mini-competition route.
