Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for a journey associated with Netherhall Mead Academy, under notice reference 37069. The requirement is classified primarily as taxi services, with related provision for hiring passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The service is intended to provide transport for the academy journey identified in the requirement. This is a local authority passenger transport opportunity rather than a supply of vehicles, and is relevant to taxi operators and businesses providing chauffeured or driver-operated passenger transport. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. It used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 21 July 2026 at 9:00am. AZOOM TAXIS received the active award on 21 July 2026 for £24,804 GBP. The awarded contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement is for services and the award covers the full stated requirement. The recorded outcome identifies one selected supplier. The published process therefore records both the council’s route to market and the award decision for this academy transport journey.

This award demonstrates established council demand for contracted taxi and driver-operated passenger transport serving an academy journey in the East Midlands. It is commercially relevant to operators able to provide reliable passenger transport and to engage with Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A future competitor would need to understand the council’s mini-competition route, maintain the operational capacity to deliver a regular education-related journey, and present a credible taxi or passenger vehicle service. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the opportunity is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that comparable requirements may favour providers with substantial operating capacity and established public-sector contracting capability.
