Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Keyham Lodge School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, including the provision of transport for the stated school journey. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. This is a services contract for a public-sector education transport requirement, bought by Leicester City Council. The work is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled journeys for schools or other council users. The requirement is specifically associated with Keyham Lodge School rather than general transport provision.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, reference PAN3059. The contract was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis on 9 September 2026 for £22,218. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £22,218. The procurement used the Council’s DPS route for passenger transport services. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The award is active and the contract covers the stated Keyham Lodge School transport journey.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys dedicated school transport through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, using mini-competitions for individual requirements. A credible future competitor would need to provide taxi or private-hire passenger transport with drivers and organise reliable journeys for a school setting. The requirement suits operators able to work within a council-managed purchasing route and respond to a defined transport journey rather than only offering ad hoc private bookings. Small and medium-sized businesses, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprise providers, were considered suitable for this type of requirement. Relevant strengths are dependable vehicle-and-driver provision, operational coordination and experience delivering passenger journeys for education or public-sector users.
