Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Hinckley House School: a taxi journey service, involving taxis and other passenger vehicles with drivers. The requirement is for transport on the journey identified by the school and is a specific school transport contract rather than a general fleet or vehicle hire requirement. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The stated delivery location is England; no more specific route or destination is identified in the procurement details. The service is classified as transport services and is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to City Rides Leicester Ltd. Leicester City Council selected the supplier through a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 22 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £69,030. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The original tender deadline was 22 October 2026. This is a single school journey requirement, with no separate lots described. The recorded evaluation basis does not set out specific award criteria, so the published details do not explain how competing offers were scored.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for a dedicated taxi journey serving Hinckley House School, procured through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition. Suppliers positioned for comparable work need to provide passenger transport with drivers and be able to meet the needs of a defined school route. The award shows that a taxi operator was selected for this requirement, making local passenger transport providers with suitable operational capacity relevant competitors when similar school journeys are considered. The requirement is framed as a specific journey, so businesses whose service is limited to vehicle supply without drivers, or to unrelated transport work, are less closely aligned. The procurement records SME and VCSE suitability, indicating that participation is not limited to large suppliers.
