Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester College’s Freemans Park Campus. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with passenger transport vehicles supplied with drivers as an additional element. The work is delivered in England, for transport connected with the college campus. This is a local authority requirement for the organised movement of passengers rather than vehicle supply alone, and would suit taxi operators, private-hire companies and passenger transport businesses able to provide drivers and suitable vehicles. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the wider passenger transport services market.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 18 August 2026 to AZOOM TAXIS for £20,124, inclusive of the stated contract value basis. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 18 August 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was treated as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. It was conducted through the council’s existing dynamic purchasing arrangement rather than as a standalone open tender.

This award confirms a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for passenger journeys serving Leicester College’s Freemans Park Campus. Businesses considering future requirements from this buyer would need reliable taxi or private-hire operations, appropriately licensed drivers, suitable passenger vehicles and the capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently throughout the service period. Experience in passenger transport, school or college travel, and working to council booking, safeguarding and service standards would strengthen credibility. The requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, so a smaller local operator may be well placed where it can demonstrate dependable vehicle availability, driver cover, operational resilience and the ability to meet the council’s dynamic purchasing system requirements.
