Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Foxfields Academy. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, intended for delivery in England. The contract sits within the Council’s passenger transport services requirements and is aimed at providing transport for the named academy journey. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation, based at City Hall in Leicester. The opportunity is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-operated vehicles for an education-related transport requirement. The procurement is classified primarily as taxi services, with vehicle hire with a driver as an additional category.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. HMB TAXIS was awarded the contract on 18 August 2026 for £40,821. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement was evaluated through the Council’s DPS mini-competition route. It is a services contract and the stated procurement value and awarded value are both £40,821. The award is active and the contract period is set out alongside the award. This outcome records a single supplier for the Foxfields Academy transport requirement.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its passenger transport DPS to source individual taxi and driver-operated vehicle requirements for education settings. It is therefore most relevant to operators with suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the operational capacity to provide reliable journeys for an academy over an extended service period. Firms should be able to manage planned transport consistently, meet Council requirements for passenger safety and service delivery, and respond competitively to mini-competitions issued through the DPS. The procurement is explicitly suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so local or specialist operators may be well placed to compete when comparable requirements return.
