Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37222 - Homefield College (Park House Farm)”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, supporting travel to or from Homefield College and Park House Farm. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a council transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are operators able to provide passenger journeys using taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The council is based in Leicester and is the buyer for the service.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure, with tenders due by 1 September 2026 at 9:00am. The award was made on 1 September 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD for £31,473 including the stated GBP currency. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement is complete and the award is active. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It covers one transport requirement.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and passenger transport journeys linked to education provision. Competitors would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver a defined journey reliably in the East Midlands. The successful supplier was a large taxi business, indicating that the council can place this type of requirement with an established transport operator. Businesses assessing future requirements should be credible for council-run mini-competitions under the Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system, with the operational capacity, driver resources and vehicle availability to fulfil scheduled passenger journeys for the contract period. The relevant market is specialist passenger transport, not ordinary vehicle hire without drivers.
