Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Inglehurst Junior School. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with an additional classification covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. This is a service contract for providing transport rather than vehicles alone. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The named buyer is Leicester City Council. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangements and concerns a specific school-related journey. It is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide appropriately driven vehicles for a recurring education transport service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Skyline Taxis following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £27,846. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s stated estimated value is also £27,846. The process used a mini competition within the Council’s DPS rather than a standalone open tender. The award is active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Skyline Taxis is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a taxi or passenger transport operator to provide a school-related journey for Leicester City Council over a multi-year service period. Businesses competing for comparable Council requirements would need reliable passenger vehicles, suitably licensed and experienced drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled education transport consistently. The Council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini competitions makes familiarity with that route important, including the ability to respond to individual transport requirements rather than only large standalone tenders. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller operators and community-focused transport providers can be relevant where they can demonstrate dependable service delivery, vehicle availability and the required taxi or private passenger transport capability.
