Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for the journey identified as Keyham Lodge. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. This was a specific journey contract arranged through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than a general transport service across a stated network. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement description says the contract covers the journey named in its title; it does not provide further journey-level details in the published data. The requirement therefore relates to suppliers able to provide taxi and driver-operated passenger transport for this Council journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to AZOOM TAXIS following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 16 October 2026. The awarded value is £50,544. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender closing deadline was 16 October 2026 at 09:00. The procurement is classified as a services contract, with suitability marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published information does not set out a separate evaluation formula or detailed award criteria. The award is active; no contract signature or completion status is stated.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for a specific taxi journey delivered through its passenger transport purchasing system. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements should be able to provide reliable taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers, and meet the Council’s requirements for an individual journey to Keyham Lodge. The route used was a mini-competition within the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, so familiarity with that route is relevant to competing for this buyer’s work. AZOOM TAXIS, recorded as a large supplier, won this contract. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to deliver the required journey and participate effectively in a competitive process for Council passenger transport services.
