Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport services for the journey to Vale Farm Campus. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement description identifies the campus journey but gives no further route or service specification. This is a council transport requirement, rather than a general vehicle hire contract: suppliers need to provide passenger journeys by taxi or other driven transport. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The contract forms part of the council’s passenger transport purchasing activity through its dynamic purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to ASA Transport following a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, using an open procedure. The award was made on 22 October 2026. The awarded value is £66,304. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The original submission deadline was 22 October 2026. This was a single requirement, with no separate lots recorded. The stated procurement value matches the award value. No award evaluation criteria or specific supplier eligibility requirements are recorded in the procurement details.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport to Vale Farm Campus, and that the requirement was competed through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide dependable taxi or passenger-vehicle journeys for the specified campus route and be capable of participating in that purchasing route. The selected supplier is identified as a large business, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. That signals a scale or procurement-fit consideration for smaller operators, although no particular fleet size, accreditation, staffing level or prior experience requirement is stated. The award provides evidence of this buyer’s specific transport need, not a wider set of transport services.
