Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Oaklands School: taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers for a journey identified in the procurement title. The service is intended to transport passengers on that school journey. The recorded delivery location is England; no specific town or route is identified beyond the Oaklands School reference. This is a transport-services requirement rather than a vehicle purchase. The council is the buyer, and the work concerns a defined school transport journey rather than a wider transport network or general taxi provision.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NMI Taxis. The award date was 30 September 2026, and the contract runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded value is £58,500. The competition was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender deadline was 30 September 2026 at 09:00. The process records the service as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the supplied information.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys dedicated taxi transport for an Oaklands School journey through its passenger transport purchasing system. Suppliers aiming to compete for this requirement when it returns to market would need to demonstrate they can reliably provide passenger transport vehicles with drivers and deliver a consistent school journey over a sustained contract. The award went to NMI Taxis, a large supplier, showing that the requirement was met by an established transport operator; the recorded suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises also indicates that the opportunity was considered accessible to those business types. Credibility will depend on having the operational capacity to cover the specified journey and meeting the council’s requirements through the relevant competition route.
