Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Meadow View Farm School. The requirement is described as taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is to be delivered in England, for school-related transport arranged by the council. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for a school journey.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 3 August 2026 for £44,109. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender had a stated value of £44,109. The procurement used a dynamic purchasing system route rather than a standalone open tender. The published outcome records one active award to one supplier. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations.

For taxi and private-hire operators, this award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated passenger transport linked to a school journey. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the operational capacity to provide reliable scheduled journeys throughout the required service period. The council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to source this type of work, so suppliers seeking comparable council business would benefit from understanding and meeting that route’s requirements. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations indicates that the requirement is not limited to large transport businesses.
