Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “St Andrews”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, making it relevant to operators providing booked journeys, vehicle-and-driver services or similar passenger transport. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport arrangements and concerns a specific journey rather than a broad transport network or fleet-management service. Businesses specialising in local authority transport, taxi brokerage, private-hire services or scheduled passenger journeys are the closest fit, subject to the operational requirements of the journey and the Council’s purchasing arrangements.

The procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 9:00am. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to ADAMS TRANSPORT on 3 September 2026. The awarded value is £9,360 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 1 January 2027. The published outcome identifies an active award and does not state a separate scoring breakdown or award-criteria weighting. This was a single requirement for the St Andrews journey, rather than a procurement divided into multiple lots or separate awards.

For suppliers assessing future Council demand, this award shows a specific need for passenger transport delivered through a competitive call-off from an established dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor would need to provide taxi or private-hire transport with a driver, organise reliable journey delivery in the East Midlands and meet the Council’s requirements for passenger transport services. Familiarity with mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system would be important, as would the administrative capacity to respond to individual journey opportunities and fulfil them consistently. The recorded suitability assessment did not identify the requirement as suitable for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Larger, established transport operators with dependable vehicles, appropriately qualified drivers and experience of public-sector or contracted passenger journeys are therefore the closest comparison.
