Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Beauchamp College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. It is a service contract managed by the Council’s Passenger and Transport Services. The procurement is relevant to taxi businesses, private hire operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide driver-operated vehicles for education-related journeys. The named requirement is specific to Beauchamp College, while the wider purchasing route covers passenger transport services for the Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 21 August 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. The award value is £30,385 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded through a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, using an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was also £30,385. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There was one requirement rather than multiple lots.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for driver-operated taxi or passenger transport services supporting Beauchamp College in the East Midlands. Businesses considering similar Council work would need the vehicles, drivers, operational capacity and safeguarding arrangements needed to deliver reliable education-related journeys. Taxi firms and private hire operators are the most directly relevant competitors, while other passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles and drivers may also fit. The procurement shows that the Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions for this type of service, so suppliers seeking future comparable work would need to understand that route and maintain the capacity to respond to individual passenger transport requirements.
