Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is buying passenger transport services for a journey serving Leicester Partnership School. The requirement is for taxi transport, including a vehicle with a driver, delivered in Leicester, England. This is a school-related transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The council is the buyer, and the selected provider is a taxi operator. The procurement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport arrangements, with this requirement focused on the journey identified by the school name. Its scope is therefore relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators able to provide the required school journey in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 6 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £23,365. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The council awarded the work through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated procurement method is “Other”; the information supplied does not give a separate evaluation basis or selection criteria. The requirement is presented as a single school journey, with no lot structure described. The tender response deadline was 6 October 2026 at 08:00. The award is active, and the contract period is recorded alongside the award.

For taxi firms and passenger transport operators, this award provides a direct example of Leicester City Council purchasing a school journey through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using a mini-competition. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to be able to provide taxi transport with a driver for the specified school journey in Leicester and operate at a scale suited to delivering that service reliably across the contract term. The successful supplier was Skyline Taxis, showing that a taxi operator was selected for this requirement. The opportunity is particularly relevant to small and medium-sized businesses: the procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises. The contract demonstrates buyer demand for focused school transport rather than a broad fleet or general transport service.
