Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey identified as “ARCH SCHOOL ANSLEY”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, with the work delivered in England. It is a services contract intended to provide transport for the stated journey. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement formed part of the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, indicating a requirement managed within its wider arrangements for passenger transport suppliers. The opportunity is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to deliver the specified journey using suitable vehicles and drivers.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to HMB Taxis on 17 August 2026. The awarded value is £75,453 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was evaluated through the mini-competition route within the Dynamic Purchasing System. The tender was classified primarily as taxi services, with an additional classification for hiring passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and passenger transport services linked to a named school journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, provide vehicles with drivers, and have the operational capacity to deliver the specified journey reliably. The council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions shows that suppliers need to understand and participate through that purchasing route. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist operators and community-based transport organisations can be relevant competitors.
