Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council is procuring passenger transport services for the journey identified as 37237 Millgate. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. The work is to be delivered in the East Midlands. It sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services requirement and concerns the provision of transport for a specified journey. Businesses operating taxi services, chauffeured passenger vehicles or similar transport operations are the relevant market. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The requirement is categorised as a service and is focused on carrying passengers by road with an accompanying driver.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It followed a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 09:00, and the award was made on 3 September 2026. Skyline Taxis was selected for a contract valued at £16,848. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is recorded as active, with Leicester City Council as the buyer and Skyline Taxis as the successful supplier. The procurement covers one transport requirement associated with the Millgate journey.

For competing taxi and passenger transport businesses, this award is evidence that Leicester City Council buys journey-specific transport through its passenger transport services system. A credible future supplier would need to provide taxi or chauffeur-driven passenger transport, organise reliable delivery for a defined journey, and maintain sufficient operational capacity to support a Council service over a sustained contract period. Coverage of the East Midlands is relevant, as is the ability to work within a dynamic purchasing system and respond to mini competitions rather than only conventional one-off tenders. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller operators with dependable vehicles, drivers and day-to-day scheduling capability can be commercially relevant when comparable Council transport requirements return.
