Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Homefield College (Menphys Hub Site). The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting travel associated with the college and hub site. It sits within the passenger transport services category and is a service contract rather than a goods or construction requirement. Delivery is in England. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The opportunity is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations, indicating that the requirement is not limited to large national transport providers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 4 August 2026 for £24,687. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 4 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used the Council’s dynamic purchasing system route rather than a standalone open tender. The award is active, and the awarded value and contract period relate to Skyline Taxis only. The process concerns one identified transport journey, rather than a multi-lot programme of passenger transport work.

For a future requirement of this type, credible competitors would be taxi firms or passenger transport operators able to provide vehicles with drivers for scheduled journeys linked to an educational setting and hub site. Relevant capability includes operating passenger vehicles reliably, organising driver availability across the required contract period and delivering consistent transport for a defined route or journey. Smaller operators and community-focused organisations may be well placed to compete, since the requirement was identified as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The Council’s use of a passenger transport dynamic purchasing system also shows that suppliers need to understand and participate in that route, and be ready to respond to mini-competitions for individual journeys.
