Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37247 TIGERS ROAD”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, including delivery in the East Midlands. It sits within the Council’s passenger transport services requirement and is intended to provide transport for the stated journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The opportunity is categorised as services and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport businesses able to provide vehicles with drivers for Council journeys in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 September 2026 to Adams Transport following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded value is £25,342 including the published currency, GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 4 September 2026 at 9:00am. Adams Transport is the selected supplier and the award remains active. The requirement was evaluated through the Council’s DPS mini-competition route rather than a standalone open tender. The procurement covered one transport requirement, for the journey titled “37247 TIGERS ROAD”.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for Council-funded taxi or passenger transport provision, delivered by a vehicle-with-driver operator and suitable for an SME supplier. Businesses competing for comparable work would need to provide reliable taxi or private-hire transport, suitable passenger vehicles and qualified drivers capable of delivering the specified journey in the East Midlands. Experience of responding to Leicester City Council passenger transport requirements and the ability to participate in mini-competitions under its Dynamic Purchasing System would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier was an SME, showing that this scale and route can be served by a smaller transport business rather than only a large national operator. The requirement also indicates demand for journey-specific transport services from this buyer.
