Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, with delivery in the East Midlands. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and relates to a specific transport journey rather than a general fleet or vehicle supply requirement. It is therefore relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys in the East Midlands, particularly businesses experienced in delivering contracted transport for public bodies or education-related travel.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 17 September 2026 to Azoom Taxis for £14,274 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 17 September 2026 at 09:00. It was evaluated through the Council’s DPS mini-competition route, with the award covering one transport requirement. The outcome is recorded as an active award and the tender status is complete.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for contracted taxi or passenger transport services from Leicester City Council, delivered over a substantial operating period and through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. It is commercially relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators that can provide vehicles with drivers, organise reliable journey delivery and meet public-sector contract administration requirements. The opportunity is specifically suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, so smaller operators with dependable local or regional capacity can be credible competitors. Businesses considering future work of this type would need a robust operating base, sufficient driver and vehicle availability, and the ability to participate in DPS mini competitions.
