Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “Anstey Alpacas”. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with an additional classification covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. Delivery is in England, for transport arranged by the Council. The work is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide journeys with drivers. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a focus on transport provision for Council-related journeys rather than general vehicle hire or fleet supply.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, reference PAN3059. The award date was 17 August 2026, and the contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis. The awarded value is £10,608 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 May 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 August 2026 at 9.00am. The procurement was for services, evaluated through the Council’s mini-competition route within the DPS. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a competitor, this award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport linked to a named journey. Credible suppliers for a future requirement of this type would need to operate passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver reliable taxi services for Council journeys in England. Smaller operators and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable participants, so the requirement is not limited to large national transport companies. Businesses with practical experience of responding to Council transport requirements, managing scheduled passenger journeys and maintaining dependable driver and vehicle availability would be well placed to compete when comparable work returns to the market.
