Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey identified as “Pindar Nursery”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in England; Leicester City Council is the buyer. The description identifies the service as transport for the stated journey but gives no further route or passenger details. This is an individual transport service requirement rather than a general vehicle purchase, and its direct relevance is to operators able to provide taxi or comparable passenger transport for the specified journey. The procurement was conducted through the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using a mini-competition.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to AZOOM TAXIS. The award was made on 6 October 2026, at a value of £30,654. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Suppliers submitted responses by 6 October 2026. This was a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored, so the basis for selecting the supplier cannot be stated. The requirement is recorded as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. One supplier is named as the award recipient, and no division into lots is described.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport for a journey associated with Pindar Nursery, procured through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition. For comparable work when this requirement returns to market, a credible competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specific journey reliably. The current award was made to a large taxi supplier, indicating that an established operator can meet the requirement, while the council also marked the opportunity as suitable for smaller businesses and voluntary or community enterprises. This is relevant to firms already equipped to provide passenger journeys for the council through its DPS route; it is not evidence of a broader transport or vehicle supply requirement.」}quicklich񎟈handzu สล็อตโจ๊กเกอร์ 趣赢บอลออนไลน์_REALTYPE 10 final code_end 0} afrikaans
