Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for the journey identified as Ellesmere. The requirement covers taxi services and passenger vehicles supplied with a driver. The work is associated with the East Midlands, and the buyer is based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 22 October 2026 after a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Two suppliers were selected: SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd and Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. Each award is valued at £25,611. Both contracts run from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition deadline was 22 October 2026 at 09:00. The published information does not state how bids were evaluated.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi transport on the Ellesmere journey through its passenger transport purchasing system. Suppliers competing for a similar requirement would need to provide taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, and be able to deliver the specified journey. The Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs, so businesses should consider whether their organisation’s scale and operating capacity fit the buyer’s requirements.
