Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Elmbrook School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, making this relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to deliver school journeys. The work is delivered in England, with the council based in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as services and is intended to support the transport needs of the school. The buyer is Leicester City Council, which uses its passenger transport arrangements to source transport providers for specific journeys and routes. Suppliers should therefore be able to provide reliable, appropriately managed vehicle-and-driver services for school-related passenger transport.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded on 9 September 2026 to City Rides Leicester Ltd for £26,910, and runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s stated value is also £26,910. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and covers one school transport requirement. The published process records the award outcome and names the selected supplier; the contract period sets the term for delivery of the passenger transport service.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined local-authority demand for school passenger transport delivered through a dynamic purchasing system and a mini-competition. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire vehicles, provide drivers and organise dependable journeys for a school passenger service. The relevant capability is practical transport delivery rather than construction or general consultancy: suitable vehicles, competent drivers, dependable scheduling, route management and the operational capacity to meet the council’s service expectations throughout the contract term. Smaller firms and voluntary or community organisations were identified as suitable participants, so the requirement can be relevant to established local operators as well as larger passenger transport businesses.
