Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured taxi and other passenger transport services for the journey identified as “WHM WORK CONNECTIONS”. The requirement is described as transport for that journey; no further route or passenger details are provided in the procurement description. The work is associated with Leicester, although the recorded delivery location is only stated as England, United Kingdom. It was arranged through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, with this contract awarded following a mini-competition. This is a transport services requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles: the services cover taxi transport and passenger transport vehicles supplied with a driver.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS. The award date was 23 September 2026, and the award value is £32,994. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender closed on 23 September 2026. The award followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The recorded method is “Other”; no further method detail or evaluation criteria are stated. The procurement is presented as a single journey requirement, with no separate lots described. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable for the requirement.

This award shows Leicester City Council buys journey-specific taxi and passenger transport services through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using mini-competitions for individual requirements. A supplier seeking to compete for a similar requirement would need to provide taxis or passenger vehicles with drivers and demonstrate it can reliably deliver the specified journey. The Council’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises suggests that smaller providers may be relevant competitors, alongside larger operators. The awarded supplier was identified as a large organisation, showing that a provider of substantial scale was selected for this contract; however, no particular fleet size, accreditation, staffing level or prior experience requirement is recorded. The commercial opportunity is focused on passenger transport for the Council, rather than general vehicle hire.
