Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Brooke House School, described as a specific journey. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in England. The contract sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing system, but this award relates to the school journey rather than a general transport service. The buyer is Leicester City Council. The published description does not identify the route, passenger numbers, vehicle type or operating timetable, so the scope that can be established is school-related transport by taxi or a passenger vehicle with a driver.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. ELITE TAXIS was selected, with an award value of £33,930. The award was made on 20 October 2026. The contract period runs from 2 November 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 20 October 2026. The process is complete and the award is active. The recorded procurement method is described only as “Other”; the evaluation criteria and any minimum supplier eligibility requirements are not stated in the process details. The procurement is categorised as a service, and the tender indicates suitability for both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for a dedicated school transport journey delivered by taxi or a passenger vehicle with a driver, procured through a mini-competition in its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. Suppliers seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to show they can provide reliable, appropriate passenger transport for a school journey and operate within the council’s purchasing route. The award indicates a contract of modest scale rather than a broad transport network requirement. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller operators may be relevant competitors. To assess operational fit for a future comparable requirement, taxi and passenger transport businesses would need to match their vehicles and service capacity to the journey’s specific needs.
