Tender Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is procuring passenger transport for a journey associated with Oaklands School. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, rather than the purchase of vehicles. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The description identifies the work as transport services but does not set out the journey route or operational arrangements. The Council is the buyer. This is a school-related passenger transport requirement, so it is relevant to operators able to provide the required journey service and serve the delivery area. The procurement is a specific transport requirement rather than a general supply of vehicles.

The Council invited offers through a mini-competition under its dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services, using a selective call-off procedure. The process reached tender: suppliers were invited to submit offers. The tender deadline set was 26 October 2026 at 09:00 UTC. The contract period runs from 9 November 2026 to 31 July 2027. The stated contract value is £54,873. The procurement is presented as a single transport requirement, with no lots described. The published information does not explain the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements, so suppliers should check the competition requirements before deciding whether they can meet them.

This opportunity is suited to passenger transport and taxi operators able to deliver a school-related journey in the East Midlands. Relevant suppliers will need to provide vehicles with drivers and have the operational capacity to fulfil the journey over the contract period. The procurement is identified as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, which may make it less appropriate for smaller or community-based operators. The description does not state vehicle specifications, passenger numbers, staffing arrangements, accessibility requirements or required accreditations, so the practical fit will depend on the competition documents. Operators already able to provide passenger transport services to public bodies may find the service category relevant, but should assess the required journey and contract terms before committing resources.
