Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured a passenger transport service described as “37410 - CONTACT”, for a journey identified by that title. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. The council is based in Leicester. The procurement description says the journey is stated in the notice title but provides no further journey detail, so the scope that can be established is a specific transport journey rather than a broader taxi service contract.

The contract was awarded to Victoria Cabs following a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The procurement used an open procedure. The award was made on 22 October 2026, at a value of £180. The contract period runs from 26 to 27 October 2026. The tender deadline was 22 October 2026 at 09:00. The published outcome identifies Victoria Cabs as the successful supplier. The procurement is recorded as complete, and the award is active. No lot breakdown or evaluation criteria are set out in the available process details.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s use of its passenger transport purchasing system to source individual taxi and driver-provided vehicle journeys through mini-competitions. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide passenger transport for a defined journey in the East Midlands and be able to compete through the council’s dynamic purchasing system. The successful supplier was a large business, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The work is a small, short-duration transport requirement rather than a broad fleet or long-term service contract. Taxi firms interested in the same type of council requirement should assess their ability to deliver specific journeys through this purchasing route.
