Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37304 - MADANI SCHOOL”. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, to support travel connected with Madani School. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council’s Passenger & Transport Services team managing the purchase. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester, and the requirement sits within its wider passenger transport needs. Taxi operators, private hire firms and other providers of chauffeur-driven passenger transport would be the most directly relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 September 2026 to AZOOM TAXI. The award value is £14,508. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 29 January 2027. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, although the recorded procurement method is an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 18 September 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was evaluated through the council’s stated procurement process for this passenger transport requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with one supplier selected.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related passenger transport delivered by taxi or passenger vehicles with drivers in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for similar council work would need the appropriate taxi or private-hire operating permissions, suitable passenger vehicles, qualified and reliable drivers, and the capacity to provide regular journeys linked to a school timetable. Strong operational coordination, punctuality, safeguarding awareness and dependable communication with the council would be important in meeting the service requirement. Smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises are explicitly considered suitable for this type of opportunity. Suppliers should also understand how to participate in the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and compete in its mini-competitions.
