Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Fullhurst Community College. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering delivery in the East Midlands. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport activity and concerns a specific college journey rather than a broad transport network or general vehicle hire service. Businesses operating taxi fleets, private hire vehicles or other passenger transport with drivers would find the subject matter relevant. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The service is categorised as services and is intended to provide transport for the named educational establishment.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS on 24 August 2026 for £11,544, with a contract period from 1 September 2026 to 16 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9am. The award covers the Fullhurst Community College journey and the contract value is stated in pounds sterling. The published process records an active award to one supplier. It was run as a mini-competition within the Council’s DPS rather than as a standalone open tender. The opportunity was not reserved for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award provides a clear indication of Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted school and college passenger transport in the East Midlands. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable taxi or private hire capacity, passenger vehicles with drivers, and the operational ability to cover a defined education journey. The requirement is suited to businesses familiar with journey-based transport contracts rather than organisations offering vehicle hire without drivers or unrelated logistics services. Suppliers should be able to operate through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and compete in its mini-competitions. The selected provider’s award also shows that the Council uses this route for focused, short-duration transport requirements serving individual educational establishments.
