Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for the journey identified as Ellesmere College (KFC). The requirement is for taxi and passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than vehicle hire alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buyer based in Leicester. The procurement description identifies a specific journey but gives no further route or passenger details. This is a transport service requirement for a defined trip, not a general transport network or fleet contract.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS on 7 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £28,595. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Leicester City Council ran an open mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The submission deadline was 7 October 2026. The available information does not state separate lots or evaluation weightings, so the award basis cannot be characterised further. The award covers the Ellesmere College (KFC) journey; no separate awards or suppliers are listed.

The award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined passenger taxi journey through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified journey reliably. The work is a focused journey-based service, so operators suited to individual contracted routes may find the requirement more relevant than firms seeking large, multi-route transport operations. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. These features indicate the type and scale of supplier the council selected for this particular requirement.
