Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as “BLETHYNHS HIVE”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV 60120000 and 60170000. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. It is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle supply or infrastructure project. The council is the buying organisation and the service supports a specific passenger journey. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle companies and passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles and drivers for council journeys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 September 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. The award value is £43,290. The contract runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and used an open procedure. The tender’s estimated value was also £43,290. The contract is for services in the East Midlands. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The selected supplier is recorded with an active award status.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for individually specified taxi and passenger transport journeys, procured through its Dynamic Purchasing System. A future supplier would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to provide reliable service for council-arranged journeys in the East Midlands. Taxi firms, private-hire operators and passenger transport businesses with sufficient local coverage may be well placed to compete. The requirement is also relevant to smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was expressly considered suitable for both. Credibility would come from dependable dispatch and journey fulfilment, appropriate vehicle capacity, competent drivers and the operational ability to respond to mini-competitions for council transport work.
