Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as Pindar Nursery. The work is taxi transport, including the provision of passenger vehicles with a driver, rather than vehicle hire without a driver. The delivery location is in the East Midlands; the journey’s precise start and end points are not described. The Council is the buyer. This is a specific transport requirement, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide taxi or other driver-led passenger transport for journeys associated with Pindar Nursery.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to azo om taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 12 October 2026. The awarded value is £30,654. The contract period runs from 15 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 12 October 2026 at 09:00. The procurement is presented as a single journey requirement, not as separate lots. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility conditions, so no particular scoring basis or qualification threshold can be reported.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys individual taxi and driver-led passenger journeys associated with Pindar Nursery through mini-competitions within its passenger transport DPS. For a supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement in future, the relevant capability is delivering the specified passenger journey reliably using suitable vehicles and drivers. The Council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller and mission-led operators can be relevant participants. The awarded supplier was azo om taxis. The award provides evidence of a defined, single-journey requirement rather than a broad transport service; operators whose business is limited to vehicle hire without a driver would not match the stated service category.
