Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for the journey identified as St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School in the procurement title. The requirement is a taxi service, with passenger transport vehicles and drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. It is a specific route-based transport contract rather than a general school transport service across multiple locations. The council is the buyer and is based in Leicester. The service sits within the passenger transport services category, and its stated purpose is to provide transport on the named journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline Taxis following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 22 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £11,447. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 23 April 2027. The published tender response deadline was 22 October 2026 at 9:00 am. This was a competition for a single specified journey; no separate lots are identified. The process records no detailed eligibility requirements or evaluation criteria. The procurement category was services, and the council used its DPS route to run the competition.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for a defined taxi journey serving St John the Baptist Church of England Primary School, procured through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable taxi transport with suitable passenger vehicles and drivers, and be able to cover the route in the East Midlands. The work is a focused, individual journey requirement rather than a broad multi-route transport package. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, so suppliers considering similar council requirements should be prepared to deliver the service consistently at a professional operational scale. Experience coordinating passenger journeys and maintaining dependable transport provision would be directly relevant.
