Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey to or from Rowlatts Primary School. The requirement is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000), with an additional classification for hiring passenger transport vehicles with a driver (CPV 60170000). The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation and the service supports school transport rather than a general vehicle-hire requirement. This is a service contract centred on transporting passengers with suitable vehicles and drivers. The requirement was run through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so it is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to work within that purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The contract was awarded to hansom taxis on 28 July 2026 for £27,963. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 28 July 2026 at 9:00am. The published procurement category is services. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the Rowlatts Primary School journey. The opportunity was not divided into separately reported lots or awards. The stated procurement method is recorded as ‘Other’, with the mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System providing the operative route to award.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated passenger transport linked to a primary school journey, with delivery arranged through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Competitors seeking similar council work would need to operate as taxi or passenger transport providers, supply vehicles with drivers, and be able to respond to mini-competitions under the council’s DPS. Credibility would depend on showing that the business can provide dependable school transport for the required journey and sustain delivery throughout a multi-year service period. The successful supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a provider with the organisational capacity to manage this type of council service.
