Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as “FULLHURST”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, corresponding to CPV 60120000 and 60170000. The service is to be delivered in the East Midlands. This is a passenger transport operation rather than a vehicle-only supply contract, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and firms providing driven passenger vehicles. The council is based in Leicester and is the buying organisation. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a requirement managed through an established transport purchasing arrangement rather than a standalone general vehicle hire exercise.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 8 September 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, PAN3059. Hansom Airport Taxis was selected for a contract valued at £22,230. The contract runs from 10 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was evaluated through the mini-competition route within the council’s dynamic purchasing system. The recorded suitability assessment marks it as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award is active and the tender is complete.

For a supplier assessing future council transport work, this award demonstrates demand for a defined taxi or driven passenger transport journey in the East Midlands, procured through Leicester City Council’s established dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and be capable of delivering a council-arranged journey reliably within the required area. The stated SME suitability assessment means smaller businesses may find this type of requirement less suitable, while the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. Businesses considering comparable work should therefore assess whether they have the operational scale, vehicle availability, driver resources and service reliability to perform a defined public-sector transport route through a DPS mini-competition.
