Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for a journey serving Babington Academy. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with a driver, delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement description identifies the journey by the academy’s name but provides no further route or passenger details. This is a transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded after a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using an open procedure. The award date was 28 September 2026. EVEREST TAXIS was selected for a contract valued at £9,550. The contract period runs from 29 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The stated value is for this award; the procurement information does not give evaluation criteria or a separate account of how bids were scored. The requirement was identified as a single journey for Babington Academy, with no division into lots described.

This award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined, academy-related passenger transport journey through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be capable of delivering a specific school-related journey in the East Midlands. The recorded supplier is a large business, while the procurement’s suitability assessment did not identify it as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Those details indicate the scale and supplier profile associated with this award, but do not establish a particular fleet size, accreditation, staffing level or technical standard.
