Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey associated with Homefield College, under the requirement titled “37301 - HOMEFIELD COLLEGE”. The service falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s passenger transport needs. The procurement is for a contracted transport service rather than vehicles or general fleet hire. It is relevant to taxi operators, passenger transport providers and firms able to provide dependable, driver-operated transport for a college-related journey. The Council is the buying organisation and the requirement forms part of its wider passenger transport service arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated procedure was open. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd on 17 September 2026 for £35,100. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 9.00am. The procurement was classified as a services contract for taxi and driver-operated passenger transport. It was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. One supplier received the award.

This award indicates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated, driver-operated passenger transport linked to education and college journeys. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers, provide reliable service in the East Midlands and manage scheduled journeys to the Council’s required standard. Experience delivering dependable transport for colleges or other passenger groups would strengthen a supplier’s position, although the published requirement does not state specific accreditations or technical qualifications. The opportunity also shows that the Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to source this type of work, so eligible taxi firms and other transport operators should understand that route and its requirements.
