Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “The Children’s Hospital School”. The requirement covers transport services, specifically taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the council’s transport need associated with the Children’s Hospital School. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. Businesses operating taxi services, private-hire vehicles or other passenger transport with drivers are the relevant commercial fit. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used to source transport requirements through individual competitions.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. It used an open procedure, with the tender deadline at 9:00am on 11 September 2026. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to Shafi-Ullah Adam on 11 September 2026 for £29,250 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active. The published scope identifies taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers as the relevant service categories. The recorded suitability assessment does not classify the opportunity as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for scheduled passenger transport connected with the Children’s Hospital School, delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi or private-hire passenger transport with a driver and be able to deliver journeys reliably in the East Midlands. Businesses should also be prepared to participate in mini competitions conducted through the council’s DPS route, rather than relying only on conventional standalone tenders. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, so competing providers should be able to demonstrate dependable operational delivery, suitable vehicles and driver availability for a recurring council transport requirement of this type.
