Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned a passenger transport service for the journey identified as COMPASS COMMUNITY SCHOOL. The requirement is for taxi and other passenger transport with a driver, delivered in the East Midlands. This is a specific school-related journey rather than a general transport service or a wider school transport contract. The council is the buyer, and the service requirement sits within its passenger transport provision. The award confirms that the journey was contracted to a transport supplier through a competition under the council’s passenger transport purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to HMB (LEIC) LTD following an open mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 23 October 2026. The awarded value is £44,331. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition deadline was 23 October 2026 at 09:00. The procurement covers a single stated journey, with no separate lots identified. The published information does not set out evaluation weightings or a detailed assessment basis, so the award outcome and the open competition route are the available indicators of how suppliers were selected.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi transport on a defined school journey, delivered in the East Midlands. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable work should be able to provide dependable, driver-operated passenger transport suited to a school route and to meet the council’s requirements for the particular journey. The purchase was made through a mini-competition within the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so experience operating within a competitive purchasing arrangement of this kind is relevant. The contract’s defined, single-journey scope suggests that credible providers need the capacity to serve a specific route rather than assume a large network-wide requirement. The council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.
