Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as the DSP unit of Oaklands School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV 60120000 and 60170000. Delivery is in England. The work is a council-arranged school transport service, requiring operators able to provide vehicles and drivers for passenger journeys connected with Oaklands School. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. The opportunity is relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles, drivers and operational arrangements for school travel. It is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 9:00am, and the award date was 2 September 2026. The awarded value was £33,930. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to ELITE TAXIS. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was for services and the recorded procedure detail is ‘Other’. The available information identifies the mini-competition route and the requirement, but does not set out a separate scoring breakdown or award weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated taxi and passenger transport services supporting Oaklands School journeys. A credible future supplier would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, organise reliable school transport and manage journey delivery over a sustained service period. Taxi firms and private-hire operators are the closest fit, including smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises that can meet the council’s operational requirements. The procurement route is significant: suppliers need to understand and participate in the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, then respond effectively to mini-competitions for individual journeys or requirements. Experience delivering dependable passenger transport and the capacity to maintain service continuity would strengthen a future response.
