Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured a short passenger transport service: taxi journeys, with passenger vehicles and drivers, for a journey identified only as “contact”. The requirement was delivered in the East Midlands. This is a transport-services contract, specifically taxi provision, rather than a vehicle-only hire or a wider transport operation. The stated scope gives no further detail about the journey, passenger numbers or vehicle requirements, so its relevance is clearest for taxi operators able to provide council-commissioned passenger journeys in the area. The council is the buyer and is based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 5 October 2026. The awarded value was £76. The contract period runs from 8 to 9 October 2026. The tender deadline was 5 October 2026 at 09:00. The procurement used a mini-competition route; no evaluation criteria are stated in the published process data. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable. This was a single taxi-journey requirement, rather than a multi-lot contract.

The award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for individual, short-duration taxi journeys commissioned through its passenger transport purchasing system. For suppliers competing for comparable work in future, the relevant capability is providing passenger transport with a vehicle and driver, and being able to respond to council journey requirements in the East Midlands. The buyer’s use of a dynamic purchasing system and mini-competitions indicates that suppliers need to be positioned to participate in that route and compete for discrete requirements. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, suggesting smaller taxi firms can be relevant participants. The scope supports a focused taxi-service profile; it does not establish requirements for particular vehicle types, passenger assistance, qualifications or accreditations.
