Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services, specifically taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The requirement covers a journey identified in the procurement title, “37165 - VALUES”, and delivery is in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used for taxi-related contracts. It is therefore relevant to operators providing passenger journeys with drivers, including taxi and private-hire businesses able to deliver services for the Council in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 August 2026 following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award went to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS for £18,720. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender closed on 20 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement category is services, with taxi services as the primary classification and passenger transport vehicles with drivers as an additional classification. The award is active. The stated route was the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition; the opportunity was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a competitor, this award provides a clear benchmark for the type of supplier Leicester City Council uses for its passenger transport requirements: a substantial transport operator capable of providing taxi journeys and driver-provided passenger vehicles. Relevant businesses would need reliable vehicles, appropriately qualified and available drivers, operational capacity to fulfil Council journeys, and the systems needed to manage scheduled passenger transport work. The award also shows that the Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and then runs individual mini-competitions for requirements of this kind. Taxi and private-hire operators seeking comparable Council work should therefore be able to operate at a scale beyond a small local sole-trader service.
