Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “Montrose school”. The requirement is a school transport route, delivered using taxi services or passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The recorded procurement categories are taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s transport requirement in Leicester and the surrounding area. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The work therefore suits operators providing reliable, driver-led transport for school journeys, rather than vehicle-only hire, general goods transport or unrelated education services. It is a service contract focused on transporting passengers for the named school journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 14 September 2026 to ADAMS TRANSPORT for £29,238 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 15 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender had a submission deadline of 14 September 2026 at 09:00. The procurement was for services and recorded as a completed process; the award is active. The evaluation route was a mini-competition within the Council’s passenger transport DPS, rather than a standalone open tender. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement, with no lots or separate awards reported.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted school transport delivered by a taxi or passenger vehicle with driver, procured through its passenger transport DPS and a subsequent mini-competition. A credible competitor for comparable work would need the operational capacity to provide a dependable school journey, suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed and reliable drivers, and the scheduling discipline needed for regular education transport. The successful supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating a preference in this procurement for established operators with sufficient fleet, staffing and administrative capacity. Firms already able to participate in the Council’s DPS route would be better placed to respond to similar requirements from this buyer.
