Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for Homefield College: a taxi journey service, with passenger vehicles and drivers supplied as needed for the journey. The requirement is specific to the journey identified as Homefield College, rather than a general transport service. Delivery is in Leicester, England. The work sits within taxi and passenger transport services, making it relevant to licensed taxi operators and firms able to provide suitable vehicles and drivers for council-arranged journeys. The Council is the buyer and manages the requirement through its passenger transport purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded after a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. Skyline Taxis was selected. The award date was 29 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The awarded contract value is £43,641. The competition’s response deadline was 29 September 2026. The requirement is presented as one journey-specific contract rather than separate lots. The procurement data identifies small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants. No evaluation criteria or weighting are recorded in the published process information.

This award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined taxi journey for Homefield College through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than through a standalone open tender. For a supplier seeking to compete when this specific requirement returns to market, the relevant capability is reliable taxi transport for the college journey, with access to appropriate passenger vehicles and drivers and the operational capacity to fulfil a council-managed service. The process identified SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable, so smaller local operators may be relevant competitors alongside larger firms. The selected supplier was Skyline Taxis. The award provides a concrete example of the type of journey-specific work the Council procures and the route it uses to select a provider.
