Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought transport services for the journey serving Woodfield School, under its passenger transport requirements. The work involves taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV 60120000 and CPV 60170000. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are passenger transport operators able to provide journeys for pupils using taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangement and concerns a specific school journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 7 August 2026 to SKYLINE TAXIS following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract value is £31,204, including VAT status unspecified, in GBP. The contract period runs from 28 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 7 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used a services category and an alternative procedure described as “Other”. The award is active and covers one school transport requirement. The recorded contract value and period apply to the award made to SKYLINE TAXIS; no separate lots or additional awards are recorded.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated school transport delivered by taxi or passenger vehicle operators with drivers. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need reliable access to suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately qualified and available drivers, and the operational capacity to provide consistent school journeys over an extended service period. Dispatch, route planning, punctuality, safeguarding and day-to-day coordination with the council would be commercially important capabilities for this type of work. Taxi firms and passenger transport businesses already operating in or around Leicester and the East Midlands are the most directly relevant market. The council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System also indicates that suppliers need to understand and operate through that purchasing route.
