Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving North Warwickshire and South Leicestershire College’s Hinckley Campus. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering delivery in the East Midlands. The service supports transport on the journey identified by the campus requirement. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a passenger transport opportunity rather than a vehicle-only supply contract, so it is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other businesses able to provide driven passenger journeys in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 2 September 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 2 September 2026 at 9:00 am. Hansom Airport Taxis was awarded the contract for £49,140 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement used the Council’s DPS route, with the requirement evaluated through that mini-competition. The opportunity was recorded as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates an established requirement for driven passenger transport serving a college campus journey in the East Midlands. Competitors would need to operate a taxi or private-hire passenger transport service and be able to provide vehicles with drivers for the relevant route. The successful supplier was classified as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that the buyer’s route and commercial expectations favour larger established operators. Businesses monitoring this Council’s passenger transport demand should understand and be able to use its Dynamic Purchasing System and compete through mini-competitions for comparable journey requirements.
