Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Homefield College. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering delivery in the East Midlands. It sits within the Council’s passenger transport requirements and is intended to provide transport for the stated Homefield College journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as a service rather than goods or works, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled journeys for a local authority in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AZOOM TAXIS on 5 August 2026. The awarded contract value is £24,336, covering the period from 4 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 5 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award is active and AZOOM TAXIS is the selected supplier. The procurement used a service-based route for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport. The published outcome records one awarded supplier and a single requirement for the Homefield College journey.

This award demonstrates a defined local-authority requirement for education-related passenger transport delivered by taxi or other passenger vehicles with drivers. Suppliers considering future comparable work for Leicester City Council would need the operational capability to provide reliable scheduled journeys for the Homefield College requirement and to work within the Council’s passenger transport purchasing route. Credibility would come from an established taxi or private-hire operation, suitable passenger vehicles, dependable drivers and the capacity to deliver the service throughout the East Midlands. Experience of council transport work, organised vehicle scheduling and consistent service performance would help a provider compete for similar requirements when this contract reaches the end of its term.
