Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Beaumont Leys School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, meaning the supplier is expected to provide managed school-related transport rather than vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Leicester. The procurement falls within the services category and is associated with passenger transport provision under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The requirement is specific to a school journey and is therefore most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to organise reliable, appropriately driven vehicle services for school users in or around Leicester.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, using an open procedure. The award was made on 7 August 2026 to CityRides Leicester Ltd. The awarded value is £18,720 including the stated currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s stated closing time was 7 August 2026 at 09:00. The published information identifies one awarded supplier and one requirement. The opportunity was assessed through the Council’s mini-competition route within the DPS; the available procurement data does not set out separate quality, price or technical weightings.

This award indicates established demand from Leicester City Council for contracted school passenger transport delivered through its passenger transport DPS. A credible future competitor would need to be a taxi or private-hire operator, or a passenger transport business with suitable vehicles, licensed and experienced drivers, and the operational capacity to provide dependable school journeys. The requirement particularly suits suppliers able to manage regular scheduled travel, coordinate vehicles and drivers, and maintain consistent service standards over an extended delivery period. Firms considering participation in this buyer’s transport market should understand the Council’s DPS route and be prepared to compete through mini-competitions rather than relying only on one-off direct opportunities. Larger established operators may be better placed than smaller firms for this scale of service.
