Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “Kestrel Mead Primary Academy”. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. It falls within the services category and concerns delivery in the East Midlands. The work is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to deliver a reliable, driver-led journey connected with a primary academy. The council is the buying organisation. The requirement is specific to transport provision rather than vehicle supply, infrastructure or general education services, so businesses should have an operating model suited to scheduled passenger journeys and council-managed transport arrangements.

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 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS on 28 July 2026. The awarded value is £14,040 excluding any unspecified tax treatment. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 9:00am. The award covers the transport requirement as a single identified journey, rather than separately described lots. The council’s procurement route was a mini-competition within its passenger transport DPS, and the award is recorded as active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for driver-provided passenger transport associated with a primary academy journey. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger vehicles, provide suitably qualified and dependable drivers, and organise consistent service delivery over an extended council contract. The winning supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises; this indicates that operational capacity and an established service infrastructure may be important when competing for comparable council transport work. Suppliers should also be able to participate in a Dynamic Purchasing System and respond effectively to its mini-competition process, with the administration needed for council passenger transport services.
