Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey titled “Home to Contact”. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is a passenger transport service delivered in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation. This type of requirement is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide journeys for the council under its passenger transport arrangements. The procurement is categorised as a service and relates specifically to a defined journey rather than a general fleet or transport operation. Suppliers serving Leicester and the wider East Midlands may find the buyer and service area relevant, particularly if they provide taxi or private-hire vehicles with drivers for council-related passenger journeys.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, reference PAN3059. The contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 to HMB Taxis for £9,352. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 9:00am. The published procurement route is recorded as “Other”, with the mini-competition conducted under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. HMB Taxis is the selected supplier, and the award is active.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys from small and medium-sized taxi businesses through mini-competitions under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. A supplier seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver council journeys in the East Midlands. The route to market is important: businesses would need to understand and participate in the council’s passenger transport DPS before competing for individual journeys. The selected supplier is an SME, indicating that this type of work can be delivered by a smaller operator rather than only by a large transport company. Relevant firms should be capable of responding to tightly specified journey requirements and carrying out the service reliably for the council.
