Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “ELMBROOK”, using taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The requirement is a transport service rather than a vehicle purchase. The published delivery location is in the East Midlands; the journey’s exact origin and destination are not stated in the procurement details. The council is the buyer, and the contract forms part of its wider passenger transport services purchasing arrangement. This particular requirement was run as a mini-competition within the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Elite Taxis. The award was made on 25 September 2026, following a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system. The award value is £37,908. The awarded contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender also gives a wider contract period ending 31 July 2028, so the end dates differ across the published procurement and award details. The submission deadline was 25 September 2026 at 09:00. The procedure is described as “Other”; no specific evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions are set out. The requirement is presented as a single journey rather than divided into lots.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys journey-specific taxi and passenger transport, rather than only procuring general fleet hire. A credible supplier for a similar requirement would need to provide passenger journeys reliably and have access to suitable vehicles with drivers. The buyer uses a dynamic purchasing system and mini-competitions for these services, so suppliers seeking comparable council work need to be able to participate through that route and respond to individual journey requirements. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, indicating that smaller taxi firms can be relevant competitors. The selected provider was Elite Taxis. Competing for the same kind of work will depend on demonstrating the operational capacity to cover the required journey and meet the council’s service expectations.
