Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey identified as “37251 GATEWAY”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer and the requirement sits within its passenger transport services activity. The work is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. It is therefore relevant to taxi businesses, private-hire operators and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for council journeys. The awarded supplier is identified as hansomtaxis@gmail.com, indicating that the requirement was fulfilled by a transport operator rather than a wider goods or works contractor.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 4 September 2026 to hansomtaxis@gmail.com for £30,408. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender records an estimated contract period ending 31 July 2027, while the award records the period agreed with the selected supplier. The process used the council’s DPS route rather than a standalone open tender, with the requirement treated as a services procurement. The award is active, and the contract covers the Gateway journey transport requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates a defined demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and passenger transport journeys in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and organise dependable journey delivery for a public-sector buyer. Taxi firms and private-hire operators are particularly relevant, including smaller businesses that can work through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Familiarity with mini-competition procedures, responsive scheduling, consistent service delivery and the ability to provide evidence of operational capacity would strengthen a supplier’s position when competing for comparable council journeys.
