Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for Homefield College. The requirement is described as transport for a journey, covering taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with a driver (CPV 60120000). Delivery is in Leicester, England. The procurement is a specific college transport requirement rather than a broad transport service, with the journey identified in the requirement title. It was run through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System.

The process is complete and the contract was awarded to ASA TRANSPORT following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £53,820. The contract runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 8 October 2026. The published procurement information does not state the evaluation criteria or any lot structure. The opportunity was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, although the selected supplier is recorded as a large business.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for passenger transport serving a college, including taxi journeys and vehicles supplied with drivers. A future competitor would need to organise reliable journey-based transport for an education setting and have access to suitable vehicles and drivers. The existing award went to a large supplier, showing that the buyer selected a provider capable of delivering this requirement at a substantial service scale; SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises were also considered suitable for the procurement. Experience in passenger transport and the operational capacity to meet a defined college journey requirement would therefore be relevant when this buyer next procures comparable work.
