Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37102 Quorn Hall”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting transport to or from Quorn Hall in the East Midlands. It is a service contract intended for a transport operator able to provide suitable vehicles and drivers for the specified journey. The council is the buying organisation. The opportunity sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system, which is used to arrange individual transport requirements through separate competitions. Businesses operating taxi, private-hire or other passenger transport services are the relevant market, particularly those serving Leicester and the surrounding East Midlands area.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s dynamic purchasing system for Passenger Transport Services. The method was selective, through a call-off from the dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 31 July 2026 to CityRidesLTD for £22,698 excluding any applicable tax, with a contract period from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published procurement value and awarded value are the same. The requirement was treated as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The process concerns one transport requirement for the Quorn Hall journey. The award is active and CityRidesLTD is the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for individually specified passenger journeys arranged through its Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. It is commercially relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles, licensed drivers and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys reliably. A credible future supplier would need to understand the council’s dynamic purchasing system route, respond to mini-competitions and price individual transport requirements competitively. Local knowledge of Leicester and the wider East Midlands would support dependable routing and scheduling for journeys involving Quorn Hall. Operators should also be able to maintain appropriate service continuity, vehicle availability and driver cover for a council passenger transport requirement.
