Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for Leicester College, covering a specified journey. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, rather than vehicle hire alone. Delivery is in England; the notice identifies no more specific journey destination. This is a council procurement for a college transport requirement, relevant to operators able to provide taxi or chauffeured passenger transport for the journey. The council is the buyer, and the service forms part of its wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 23 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £37,323. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 23 September 2026. The procurement data does not set out the evaluation criteria or bidder eligibility conditions. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were marked as suitable for this requirement.

This award shows demand from Leicester City Council for taxi transport serving Leicester College, sourced through a mini-competition within its passenger transport purchasing system. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified college journey reliably. The buyer marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so the requirement was not confined to large operators. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, evidence that established operators also compete for this work. Taxi firms with suitable operating capacity and experience delivering passenger transport for public-sector or education-related journeys are the closest fit when this buyer’s requirement next comes to market.
