Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey serving Braunstone Frith Primary Academy. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. In practical terms, the contract concerns providing transport for the school journey named in the procurement title. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a passenger transport services requirement rather than a vehicle-only hire or general education service. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to organise driver-led journeys in the East Midlands and meet the operational needs of school transport.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated procurement method was an open procedure. The award was made to SKYLINE TAXIS on 17 September 2026 for £30,280 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 09:00. The award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier for the requirement. The opportunity was classified as a services contract covering taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi and private-hire operators targeting Leicester City Council’s school passenger transport requirements. A credible competitor for similar work would need to provide reliable driver-led journeys in the East Midlands, coordinate school transport operations and maintain sufficient vehicle and driver capacity for the required service. The route to market is important: the council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and awards individual requirements through mini-competitions. Suppliers considering this area should therefore be able to operate within that purchasing arrangement, respond to specific journey requirements and demonstrate dependable delivery for an education setting. The selected supplier’s award shows demand for dedicated taxi-based school transport rather than vehicle hire without drivers.
