Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured a passenger transport service, classified as taxi services and hire of passenger vehicles with a driver. The description says the service covers a journey identified in the procurement title, but that title does not identify the journey. The delivery location is recorded as the East Midlands, England.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS following a mini-competition under the Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 26 October 2026 and the awarded value was £84. The contract period runs from 9 to 10 November 2026. The tender deadline was 26 October 2026. The procurement data gives no further evaluation basis.

For a future requirement of this kind, a credible supplier would need to provide taxi or passenger transport services and be able to participate in Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The awarded supplier was a large business, and the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This outcome indicates demand for a specific passenger journey rather than a broad transport service.
