Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for Homefield College: a journey-based taxi service, with the journey identified by the procurement title. The requirement covers taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The delivery location is stated only as England, so no particular town or route can be identified from the published details. This is an individual requirement within the Council’s wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements, rather than a general vehicle hire requirement. The Council is the buyer, and the selected provider is Hansom Airport Taxis. The service is relevant to operators able to provide taxi transport for journeys associated with a college and to work through the Council’s passenger transport arrangements.

The procurement is complete and awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. Hansom Airport Taxis was selected on 19 October 2026 for a contract valued at £60,723. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 19 October 2026. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This award concerns a single journey-based service; no separate lots are described. The published details do not state the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be summarised further.

For taxi operators, this award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s recurring need to commission passenger transport for Homefield College through a competitive call-off from its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to deliver the specified college journey reliably using suitable passenger vehicles and drivers, and be able to participate in the Council’s mini-competitions. The scale evidenced here is a single journey requirement rather than a broad transport network contract. Operators of different sizes, including SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, were considered suitable for this procurement. The selected supplier was an established taxi business, indicating that a specialist taxi operator can meet this kind of requirement; the published information does not set out particular vehicle specifications, service standards or accreditations.
