Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester Partnership School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, placing it within the school and community transport market rather than general vehicle hire. Delivery is in England, with the council as the buying organisation. The service is intended to provide transport for passengers on the specified school journey. Businesses operating taxi fleets, passenger cars or other suitable vehicles with drivers may find the requirement relevant, particularly those already serving education, local authority or assisted passenger transport needs. The procurement is a services contract and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 22 July 2026. The award value is £21,996. The contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It was conducted as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender submission deadline was 22 July 2026 at 9:00am. The published outcome identifies taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers as the service categories. The award is active, and the council’s procurement route was a call-off competition within its existing dynamic purchasing system. The contract covers the single stated school transport journey, rather than a wider passenger transport service across multiple journeys.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for a taxi operator able to provide a passenger journey connected with Leicester Partnership School. A credible future supplier would need an operational taxi or passenger transport business, suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and the capacity to deliver the required journey consistently throughout the contract term. Experience of school transport, local-authority passenger services or safeguarding-sensitive passenger work would help demonstrate suitability, although the published award does not set out specific accreditations or technical thresholds. The opportunity is relevant to established operators as well as smaller taxi firms and community enterprises that can meet the council’s transport standards and participate through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system.
