Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for Homefield College: a taxi journey, with the journey identified only as being in the notice title. The service falls within taxi transport and passenger vehicles with a driver. The delivery location is recorded as England; no more specific destination is identified. This is a transport service rather than a purchase of vehicles. The council is the buyer, and the requirement was run as a mini-competition under its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The awarded supplier is Everest Taxis. The procurement describes a single journey requirement, without further detail on route, passenger numbers, vehicle specification or operating frequency.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Everest Taxis on 5 October 2026. The award value is £60,840. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The competition was conducted as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 5 October 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable to participate. No award scoring criteria are recorded, so the basis on which bids were assessed cannot be described. The data presents one award and one contract period; it does not break the requirement into lots or provide separate values for different journeys.

For taxi operators, this award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined passenger journey to serve Homefield College through its passenger transport purchasing system. The awarded supplier was Everest Taxis, demonstrating that an established taxi operator could win this type of requirement. A credible competitor would need to be able to provide taxi transport and passenger vehicles with drivers, and to meet the journey-specific service requirements set by the council when this requirement next comes to market. The stated SME and voluntary-sector suitability indicates that smaller and social-enterprise operators were considered suitable to compete. The published scope does not identify route, passenger numbers, vehicle specification, frequency or special accessibility needs, so it does not support a more specific assessment of the operating capacity required.
