Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for the journey identified as “Ellesmere (KFC)”. The requirement is for a taxi journey, using a vehicle with a driver, delivered in the East Midlands. This is a specific passenger transport route rather than a general transport service. The contracting buyer is Leicester City Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline Taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 12 October 2026. The awarded value is £39,897. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 12 October 2026. The opportunity was assessed through the mini-competition; the award records do not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this individual journey.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for a dedicated taxi journey in the East Midlands through its passenger transport purchasing system. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to provide passenger transport vehicles with drivers and reliably fulfil the specified journey. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, so suppliers should be prepared to demonstrate the operational capacity to deliver the route consistently. The Council ran the requirement as a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, making experience of supplying taxi services through that route commercially relevant. The journey-specific nature of the award means capability to meet this particular transport requirement is more relevant than a broad offer of unrelated passenger transport services.
