Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with The City of Leicester College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. The procurement is a services contract managed by Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system and concerns a specific college transport journey rather than a general fleet or transport-management service. Businesses operating taxi or chauffeured passenger transport services, particularly those able to provide reliable journeys for a college, are the most relevant potential suppliers for this type of requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 24 August 2026 following an open mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The tender submission deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS for £20,124, with the contract period running from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published procurement category is passenger transport services, with taxi services as the principal classification and passenger vehicles with drivers as an additional classification. The award is active. The available information identifies the procedure and transport requirement but does not set out separate quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award indicates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for individual passenger transport journeys connected with education, delivered through its passenger transport purchasing route. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private passenger vehicles with drivers and demonstrate the practical capacity to cover scheduled journeys in the East Midlands. Reliability, suitable vehicle availability, driver coverage and the ability to manage a council purchasing process would be relevant operational strengths. Firms should understand how to participate in the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system and how mini-competitions are used to allocate specific journeys. The awarded supplier’s scale suggests that established operators with sufficient capacity may be well placed for comparable requirements.
