Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for a journey identified in the procurement title as “FSD Sports Academy”. The requirement covers transport services, including taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer, and the work relates to taking passengers on the stated journey; no further route or operating detail is provided in the process information. This is a specific transport requirement rather than a general supply of vehicles. The recorded procurement category is services, and the practical focus is a driver-provided passenger journey for the council.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to hansom taxis. The council ran a mini-competition under its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 20 October 2026, and the contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded contract value is £24,570. The stated tender deadline was 20 October 2026 at 09:00. The published information does not set out lots or the evaluation criteria, so the award basis cannot be described more specifically. The process records one successful supplier and one awarded contract; the value above is the value for this award, not an aggregated figure.

For taxi operators and passenger transport firms, this award provides evidence of Leicester City Council demand for a defined journey serving its FSD Sports Academy requirement. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide passenger transport with drivers and be able to deliver the specified journey reliably. The council used a mini-competition through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, so relevant suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The selected supplier, hansom taxis, is recorded as a large business, while the opportunity was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This points to a requirement not presented as suitable for smaller or VCSE providers; firms assessing comparable council work should consider whether their scale and operating capability fit.
