Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey associated with Homefield College. The service is described as taxi transport, including transport in passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands; the notice does not identify a more precise pickup or destination. This is a specific journey requirement rather than a general passenger transport service, so its relevance is strongest for operators able to provide the required journey for the college. The procurement was run through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport, with this requirement handled as a mini-competition. The buyer is Leicester City Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Leicester City Council selected HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the awarded contract value is £39,780. The contract period runs from 1 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 30 September 2026 at 09:00. The available information identifies one journey requirement and gives no separate lots. It does not state the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility requirements. The service was categorised as passenger transport services, specifically taxi services and hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver.

For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s use of its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System to buy journey-specific taxi services through mini-competitions. A credible competitor for a similar Homefield College requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the particular journey reliably in the East Midlands. The award went to a large taxi operator, indicating that the selected supplier could undertake this requirement at the scale represented by the contract. The published information does not establish specific vehicle, accessibility, safeguarding, insurance or driver accreditation requirements, so competitors should not assume those were assessed. The commercial fit is strongest for taxi firms able to respond to the Council’s DPS route and deliver tailored passenger transport, rather than providers offering unrelated transport services.
