Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for the journey identified as Leicester Partnership School. The requirement is a taxi and passenger vehicle-with-driver service, delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement description says the contract covers transport services for the journey stated in the notice title; it does not identify the journey’s route or provide further operational detail. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The service is categorised as passenger transport and taxi services, with hire of passenger vehicles and drivers also included. This is a specific school-related transport requirement rather than a general transport service, so its relevance is strongest for operators able to provide journeys associated with Leicester Partnership School.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. Leicester City Council selected the supplier through a mini-competition under its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 22 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded value is £25,506. The contract is for the school transport journey identified in the title, with no lots or separate awards recorded. The submission deadline was 22 October 2026. This opportunity was assessed through the mini-competition, but no specific evaluation criteria or weighting are recorded. The award is active and the tender status is complete.

The award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for a defined school-related passenger transport journey, procured through a mini-competition within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or other passenger vehicles with drivers and be capable of reliably delivering the specified journey associated with Leicester Partnership School. The buyer’s description identifies a route-based service, so operators whose fleet and dispatch arrangements can support scheduled school transport are the closest fit. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, indicating that this type of requirement is not restricted to large operators. Experience in passenger transport and the capacity to meet the journey’s service requirements would therefore be relevant strengths when competing for comparable council transport work.
