Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Oaklands School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV 60120000 and CPV 60170000 respectively. The delivery location is in England, United Kingdom. This is a services contract managed by Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used for transport requirements such as taxi journeys. It is therefore relevant to businesses providing passenger transport, taxi operations or chauffeur-driven vehicle services, particularly those able to support school-related travel for the Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 27 August 2026 to Skyline Taxis for £19,656. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s submission deadline was 27 August 2026 at 8:00 am. The main procurement category was services, with the requirement identified as taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The opportunity was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and relates to the complete Oaklands School transport requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related passenger transport from Leicester City Council, delivered through a mini-competition within its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor would need to provide taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver dependable journeys for a school setting. The Council’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises shows that participation is not limited to large national operators. Businesses should therefore assess their ability to meet Council DPS conditions, respond competitively to mini-competitions, provide suitable vehicles and drivers, and manage reliable day-to-day transport operations for education-related journeys.
