Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “37115 - CONTACT”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The work is categorised as services and is delivered in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Leicester. It forms part of the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, under which individual transport requirements are competed. The procurement is relevant to taxi operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for Council journeys. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement has been awarded following an open mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 5 August 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd for £11,700, with the contract running from 6 August 2026 to 17 December 2026. The original tender value was also £11,700. The tender closed on 5 August 2026 at 9:00am. The award was active and the wider tender status was complete. The requirement was evaluated through the open procedure route. One supplier was identified for the award, covering the passenger transport journey described as “37115 - CONTACT”.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate a taxi or passenger transport service, provide suitable vehicles with drivers, and organise reliable delivery for Council journeys. The buyer uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions, so suppliers already able to participate in that route would be well placed to respond to similar requirements. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, indicating that participation is not limited to large transport businesses. Taxi firms seeking Council work can use this requirement as evidence of the service type and buyer demand to prepare for comparable competitions.
