Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Elmbrook School: taxi services and hire of passenger vehicles with a driver. The description identifies the requirement as a particular journey, but gives no route or further journey details. The delivery location is stated only as England. This is a transport-services requirement for a school, rather than a general vehicle hire or wider school-services contract.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to ADAMS TRANSPORT following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 23 September 2026 and the awarded value was £27,846. The award records a contract period from 30 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The overall tender record gives a different end date, 31 July 2027; the award period gives the later date. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate.

For suppliers considering similar school transport work for Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates demand for a defined passenger journey delivered by taxi or a passenger vehicle with a driver. A credible competitor would need to provide suitable driver-led transport and be able to meet the journey’s operational requirements. The Council used a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers would need to be positioned to compete through that route. The opportunity was identified as suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises; the selected supplier is recorded as a large business.
