Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for a journey identified as “The Childrens Hospital School”. The work is a taxi service, with passenger vehicles and drivers, to transport passengers on that stated journey. The procurement describes a specific journey rather than a broader transport service, and gives England as the delivery area. The Council is the buyer. This requirement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing arrangement, which covers taxi services. It is relevant to operators able to provide the required journey for the school, rather than suppliers of unrelated school services or general transport infrastructure.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 15 October 2026. The awarded value is £33,228. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition closed on 15 October 2026. The procurement lists taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver, and states that the requirement is for the journey named in the title. The award information records a single supplier and does not divide the requirement into lots. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable to participate.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted taxi transport on a defined journey to The Childrens Hospital School, procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers best placed to compete when this requirement returns to market will be licensed taxi or passenger-transport operators able to provide vehicles with drivers and reliably deliver the specified journey. The requirement is route-specific, so operational capacity to cover that journey and organise dependable passenger transport will be central to a credible offer. The Council’s suitability settings indicate that small and medium-sized businesses, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, can be relevant competitors. The award provides a concrete example of the Council buying a single-journey transport service through its established purchasing route.」}implicitly JSON parsed? Has extraneous?
