Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified for Lady Byron School. The requirement is categorised as taxi services, with an additional category covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service falls within the wider passenger transport sector. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators able to provide a driver-led journey for a school-related service in the East Midlands.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made to hansom taxis on 11 August 2026 for £37,440 including the stated currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 11 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement method is described as ‘Other’ and the requirement is for services. The award is active, so the selected supplier and contract value are established. The contract covers the transport journey for Lady Byron School rather than a broader passenger transport framework.

This award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council buying a defined school transport journey through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses that could be credible for comparable requirements would need to provide taxi services or passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver reliably in the East Midlands. The opportunity is relevant to both SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller operators and mission-led organisations may be well placed to compete where they can meet the council’s service requirements. Experience of dependable, driver-led passenger transport would be directly relevant, particularly for operators able to respond to individual journey requirements through a council mini-competition route.
