Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “37092 - Netherhall Mead Academy”. The service is classified as taxi services, with additional scope for hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The requirement is for transport connected with Netherhall Mead Academy, so relevant suppliers are operators able to provide scheduled journeys for pupils or passengers rather than general vehicle hire without drivers. The council is the buying organisation and the service sits within its passenger transport requirements. This is a local-authority transport service delivered through the council’s established arrangements for taxi and passenger transport providers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 29 July 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD. The award value is £24,441, including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services, using an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 09:00. The published evaluation basis is the procurement requirement for taxi and passenger transport services. At award, the council confirmed that it was no longer seeking tenders. The contract is recorded as active rather than cancelled or terminated.

This award indicates established demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated taxi and passenger transport supporting Netherhall Mead Academy. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver academy journeys consistently across the East Midlands. Experience in school or education-related transport would help demonstrate dependable safeguarding, punctuality and passenger care, although those specific qualifications are not stated as award conditions here. The route to market is also clear: suppliers compete through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, followed by a mini-competition for an individual requirement. Taxi firms and larger passenger transport operators are the most relevant businesses to monitor.
