Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey associated with Marriott Primary School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. This is a transport service rather than a vehicle supply or construction contract. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to support travel connected with the school. The awarded supplier is a taxi business, indicating that the requirement is suited to operators able to provide passenger journeys with drivers and manage school-related transport arrangements. The relevant business category is taxi and chauffeur-driven passenger transport services, including CPV 60120000 and 60170000.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to SKYLINE TAXIS. The award value is £15,834. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 18 December 2026. Bids were due by 9:00am on 14 August 2026. The award followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The procurement used a services category and the published outcome records one active award to one supplier. The requirement was assessed through that mini-competition route, with the selected supplier receiving the full stated award value. The process therefore records a completed, time-limited school transport requirement rather than an ongoing purchasing opportunity.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that Leicester City Council buys specific, short-term passenger transport for school journeys through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or chauffeur-driven passenger vehicles, provide reliable drivers and vehicles for a defined school-related route, and handle delivery in the East Midlands. The recorded supplier is a large taxi business, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. That points to the value of established operational capacity, dependable scheduling and the ability to meet council transport processes for a complete journey requirement. Experience delivering contracted passenger transport would strengthen a future response.
