Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Moat Community College: a taxi journey service, including transport provided in vehicles with drivers. The stated requirement is for the journey identified by the college and notice title; no further route or passenger details are set out. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a council transport requirement rather than a vehicle purchase, and its focus is local passenger journeys for the college. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxis on 9 October 2026. The award value is £37,428. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council used a mini-competition under its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 9 October 2026 at 09:00. This is a single stated requirement, with no separate lots described. The published information identifies taxi and driver-provided passenger transport services as the scope, and indicates that the opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. No award evaluation criteria are stated.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys taxi transport for Moat Community College through a mini-competition under its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. Taxi operators and passenger transport firms able to provide vehicles with drivers for college journeys are the closest fit. Smaller suppliers were considered suitable, so the requirement is not presented as being confined to large operators. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to demonstrate the practical ability to deliver the specified journey reliably and meet the council’s requirements for passenger transport. The awarded supplier was a large taxi firm, showing that established operators can compete for this work. The procurement concerns a defined college transport journey, rather than a general transport service across unrelated routes.
