Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “ID: 37084 - Leicester College”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, supporting transport connected with Leicester College. The work is delivered in England. The procurement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was run as a mini competition under that arrangement. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a service opportunity for operators providing licensed taxi or other passenger transport services with drivers, rather than for vehicle supply, infrastructure or general logistics.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 28 July 2026 following a mini competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. Hansom Airport Taxis was selected as supplier. The awarded contract value is £28,057 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the Council’s DPS route, with the requirement described as an alternative procedure. The contract covers one stated journey for Leicester College and is classified primarily as taxi services, with passenger transport vehicles and drivers as an additional classification. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

Although this contract has been awarded, it shows that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys through competitive call-offs from its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future supplier would need to provide reliable taxi or passenger transport vehicle services with drivers, organise delivery for an identified education-related journey, and meet the operational requirements of the Council’s DPS and mini-competition process. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the route is intended to accommodate smaller and community-based operators as well as larger firms. Taxi businesses with dependable local operations, sufficient driver and vehicle capacity, and the administration needed to respond to DPS competitions are the closest fit.
