Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the Leicester Therapy School journey, covering taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement is intended to provide transport for the school journey identified in the procurement title. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement, and is relevant to taxi operators, private hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-operated vehicles for school-related journeys in the Leicester and wider East Midlands area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 August 2026 to victoria cabs following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award value is £51,457 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 9:00am. The process used a dynamic purchasing system route and the requirement was evaluated through the mini-competition. The selected supplier is victoria cabs. The contract concerns one stated school transport journey, with no separate lot awards reported.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated passenger transport supporting a therapy school journey. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private hire services, supply suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, and organise dependable journeys for a school setting. Relevant businesses include taxi firms and passenger transport operators with local coverage in Leicester and the East Midlands, together with the operational capacity to maintain a scheduled service throughout a multi-year contract. Experience of council transport work and the ability to respond through the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system would help a supplier compete when a comparable requirement returns.
