Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Brooke House School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, intended to transport passengers for the school-related journey. The service is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000), with passenger transport vehicles with driver as an additional category (CPV 60170000). Delivery is in England. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Leicester. This is a service opportunity for taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys connected with a school requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to PRIME1 TAXIS. The awarded contract value is £31,286, covering the period from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. Leicester City Council used an open procedure through a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The requirement was treated as a services procurement and the tender was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to a single supplier for the Brooke House School transport requirement. The contract period gives the successful operator responsibility for delivering the service over nearly two academic years.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted, driver-led transport supporting a school journey, at a scale suited to an established local operator rather than a major fleet deployment. A credible future supplier would need to provide taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers, organise reliable scheduled journeys and maintain the operational capacity needed for a school service. The procurement route is also clear: the council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions for passenger transport services, so firms seeking similar work would benefit from being able to participate through that route. Taxi firms and other small transport businesses are particularly relevant, as the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs.
