Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester Partnership School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. In practical terms, it is school-related transport delivered in England, involving the provision of suitable vehicles and drivers for the stated journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, which uses passenger transport services to support its public responsibilities. The procurement is categorised as a services contract and is relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to undertake contracted journeys for a council and a school partnership.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 August 2026 to City Rides Leicester Ltd. The award value is £19,305. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Leicester City Council selected the supplier through a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, PAN3059. The tender had a submission deadline of 18 August 2026 at 9:00am. The award concerns one transport requirement for the Leicester Partnership School journey. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is City Rides Leicester Ltd.

This award is useful market evidence for taxi and passenger transport operators serving Leicester City Council. It shows that the council buys school-related journeys through a Dynamic Purchasing System, using mini-competitions for individual requirements rather than a single broad contract. A credible competitor would need to provide taxi or passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to organise reliable contracted transport for a school journey over a sustained service period. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the route is relevant beyond large national transport groups. Businesses already able to meet council supplier requirements for passenger transport could use this contract as a benchmark for the type of service and buyer relationship involved.
