Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey serving Netherhall Mead Academy. The requirement is for taxi and other passenger transport services, including vehicles supplied with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The procurement description identifies the school journey but does not give further route or passenger details. This is a council transport service requirement rather than a purchase of vehicles. The selected provider was Everest Taxis Ltd.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Everest Taxis Ltd following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The stated procedure was open. The award date was 28 September 2026. The award value is £54,990. The contract period runs from 30 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The submission deadline was 28 September 2026. The recorded evaluation basis and eligibility information do not add further criteria to the stated process. The requirement is presented as a single school journey, not as a set of separately awarded lots.

This award shows Leicester City Council buying a defined passenger transport service for a school journey through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A supplier seeking to compete for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxis or other suitable passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified journey reliably. The selected supplier was a large company, indicating that a larger operator was capable of meeting this contract; the procurement does not establish that smaller firms are barred or that a particular fleet size, accreditation or specialist qualification was required. Relevant commercial strengths are therefore transport operating capacity and the ability to fulfil a school-related journey for the Council through the DPS route.
