Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey serving Elmbrook School. The requirement covers taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers (CPV 60120000), with delivery in the East Midlands. This is a school-journey transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The contract forms part of the Council’s passenger transport services programme, which uses a dynamic purchasing system for transport requirements. The journey is identified by the school name; no further route or passenger details are included in the procurement description.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to CityRides Leicester Ltd following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 24 September 2026, with a stated value of £28,080. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The process used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026 at 09:00. This was a single journey requirement for Elmbrook School, rather than a set of separately awarded lots. The award records CityRides Leicester Ltd as the selected supplier; the published procurement information does not set out an evaluation weighting or detailed award criteria.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted passenger transport on a school journey, bought through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A supplier competing for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and show it can reliably deliver the specified school journey across the contract period. CityRides Leicester Ltd, recorded as a large supplier, won this award, so businesses should assess whether they have the operational capacity to meet a defined transport requirement of this kind. The contract provides evidence of the Council’s route to market and the service type it purchases; it does not establish that the same route, passenger arrangements or scale will apply to a future requirement.
