Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Leicester Partnership School. The requirement is for taxi transport, including transport in passenger vehicles with a driver. The service is associated with the school and is delivered in England. This is a specific school transport journey rather than a general fleet or transport provision contract, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide the required journey reliably. The council is the buyer; the contract is part of its wider passenger transport services arrangements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. Hansom Airport Taxis was selected. The award value is £26,793. The award date was 25 September 2026, and the contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 25 September 2026. The available procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or any specific eligibility requirements for this mini-competition.

This award provides evidence of Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi transport serving a school, procured through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system and a mini-competition. It indicates a focused, journey-based requirement rather than a large network-wide service. Operators best placed to compete when a similar requirement returns will be able to provide suitable passenger vehicles with drivers and deliver dependable school transport in the Leicester area. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable for this procurement, so the requirement was not restricted to large suppliers. Experience delivering comparable passenger journeys and the operational capacity to meet the school’s transport needs would support a credible offer; no particular accreditation or technical standard is stated.
