Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport for Elmbrook School: a specific journey by taxi or other passenger vehicle with a driver. The requirement is a transport service rather than the purchase of vehicles. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The procurement was run by the Council, which is also the buyer. This is a school-focused journey requirement, so the relevant commercial work is arranging and delivering passenger transport on the specified route, not general transport provision. The award records the service category as taxi services (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AZOOM following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 24 September 2026. The awarded value is £40,131. The contract runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The requirement is for one stated journey to Elmbrook School, rather than a set of separately identified lots. The competition deadline was 24 September 2026. No evaluation criteria or supplier eligibility requirements are set out in the available procurement details; the route-specific competition was conducted through the Council’s existing system for passenger transport services.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys journey-specific transport for a school through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers seeking comparable future work with this buyer would need to be able to deliver the required school journey reliably using passenger vehicles with drivers, and to compete through the Council’s system. The selected provider was a large supplier, indicating that a business aiming for similar work should be able to demonstrate capacity to cover the requirement; the procurement does not set out particular vehicle specifications, driver qualifications, accreditations or service levels, so no more specific capability requirements can be inferred. The commercial relevance is strongest for passenger transport and taxi operators able to serve Leicester and the East Midlands and handle route-based school transport requirements.
