Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey titled “Ellesmere”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV 60120000 and 60170000. The work is to be delivered in the East Midlands. It is a service requirement for a transport operator able to provide the specified journey using suitable taxis or other passenger vehicles with drivers. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to local taxi businesses and other appropriately equipped passenger transport providers.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 9 September 2026. Azoom taxis was selected as supplier for an awarded value of £16,848. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was procured as a service for a single stated journey, rather than as a series of separately described lots. The award was made through the council’s DPS route, with the recorded procurement method described as “Other”.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted taxi and passenger transport services in the East Midlands, including journeys that can be fulfilled by vehicles with drivers. Suppliers assessing comparable council work would need reliable access to suitable taxis or passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver a specified journey consistently. The requirement is expressly suitable for SMEs, so a smaller local operator can be commercially relevant where it can provide dependable transport and meet the council’s service expectations. A business seeking similar work should understand the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and be able to compete through its mini-competition route for passenger transport requirements.
