Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Barnes Heath House. The requirement is for taxi services, including passenger transport vehicles with a driver, and is delivered in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer and the work concerns a specified journey rather than a broader transport network or fleet requirement. This is a council passenger transport requirement, so taxi operators and other providers able to supply suitable vehicles and drivers for the journey are the relevant businesses.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Azoom Taxis following an open mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 21 October 2026. The awarded value is £9,348. The contract period runs from 23 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement is for one journey, with no separate lots recorded. Small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable to take part. The procurement data does not state evaluation criteria beyond the competition route, so no particular price or quality weighting can be attributed to the award.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys taxi transport for a defined journey through its passenger transport purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, and be able to fulfil the particular journey reliably across the contract period. The opportunity was considered suitable for small and medium-sized businesses, indicating that providers do not necessarily need to operate at a large scale to compete. Azoom Taxis was selected through a mini-competition, so suppliers seeking comparable council work should be equipped to participate in that competitive route and deliver journey-specific transport services.
