Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as WOLFDALE. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, with the journey delivered in the East Midlands. This is a services contract intended to provide a specific passenger journey rather than vehicle supply alone. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport requirements and concerns the provision of driven transport for passengers. Businesses whose core work is taxi operation, private-hire passenger transport or other chauffeured vehicle services are the most directly relevant, particularly those able to operate in or serve the East Midlands area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026, and the award was made on 3 September 2026. One Express was selected as the supplier, with an awarded value of £37,440. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was for services and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active. The recorded procedure detail is “Other”, and the requirement was competed through the Council’s existing dynamic purchasing system rather than as a standalone open tender. The procurement concerns one journey requirement titled WOLFDALE.

For a supplier that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for defined passenger journeys delivered by taxi or driven passenger vehicles. A credible future competitor would need suitable licensed vehicles, appropriately qualified and vetted drivers, reliable journey planning and the operational capacity to provide consistent passenger transport in the East Midlands. Strong performance would also depend on punctuality, vehicle safety, driver conduct and the ability to manage a specific route or journey requirement rather than only offering general vehicle hire. Small and medium-sized businesses are explicitly considered suitable. Suppliers seeking comparable Council work should understand and participate in the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and be able to respond to mini-competitions.
