Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Granby Primary. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with the related provision of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a local-authority transport requirement rather than a vehicle-only supply opportunity: the provider is expected to supply transport and driving services for the stated journey. The procurement falls within the services category and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport businesses able to provide vehicles with drivers for Council transport requirements connected with Granby Primary.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 11 September 2026 to HMB Leicester through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract value is £35,077, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 September 2026 at 09:00. The award was made through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route; the available information identifies the requirement as a mini-competition rather than a standalone open tender. HMB Leicester is the selected supplier. The procurement was evaluated within that competitive purchasing process, with the requirement covering taxi and driver-provided passenger transport services.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System to place specific journey requirements with transport providers. A credible competitor for similar work would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, provide suitable vehicles with drivers, and manage delivery for a named school-related journey such as Granby Primary. The opportunity is accessible to SMEs, so smaller established operators can be relevant alongside larger transport businesses. Useful capability includes reliable scheduled passenger transport, dependable driver cover, appropriate vehicle availability and the operational discipline to meet Council journey requirements. Firms already able to work through a dynamic purchasing system and respond to mini-competitions would be well placed when comparable Council transport needs return.
