Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for journeys described as “37233 – VARIOUS”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. It is a public service contract for transporting passengers rather than for vehicle supply or infrastructure works. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation, through its Passenger and Transport Services function in Leicester. The service is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The procurement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a recurring route for suppliers providing taxi and driver-led passenger transport services to the Council.

This procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure, and the tender was complete when the award was made. The submission deadline was 2 September 2026 at 9:00 am. The contract was awarded on 2 September 2026 to SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd for £33,029 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 4 September 2026 to 25 December 2026. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The available procurement information describes the service and procedure, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for taxi and driver-led passenger transport delivered in the East Midlands through a Dynamic Purchasing System and subsequent mini-competitions. It is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to undertake varied passenger journeys for a public-sector buyer. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable vehicles, appropriately authorised and available drivers, reliable dispatch and scheduling arrangements, and the operational capacity to deliver individual journeys consistently. The route also suits smaller businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so local or specialist operators can be relevant where they can meet the Council’s passenger transport requirements and participate in the DPS process.
