Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as “37146 – Pathway Provision”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting passenger travel in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses. It is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle firms and passenger transport providers able to provide journeys for the Council within the stated delivery area.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to Hansom Taxis on 14 August 2026 following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract value is £37,323 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 09:00. The procurement used a competitive route within the existing dynamic purchasing system. The award is active, and Hansom Taxis is the selected supplier for the requirement.

Although this requirement has already been awarded, it provides a clear reference point for suppliers targeting Leicester City Council’s passenger transport work. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified passenger journeys reliably across the East Midlands. The successful supplier was an SME, showing that the requirement can be served by a smaller specialist operator rather than only a large transport company. Firms should be prepared to participate in mini-competitions under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, with the operational capacity to provide booked journeys and maintain dependable service throughout the contract period.
