Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37192 - WESTGATE”. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The service is classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with an additional classification for hired passenger vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s transport needs. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The stated requirement is a specific journey rather than a general passenger transport network, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide reliable, driver-led taxi or passenger vehicle services in the East Midlands and to meet the Council’s operational requirements for this route.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 21 August 2026. PRIME ONE TAXIS was selected for a value of £21,189 (GBP). The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender record gives a contract period of 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement used the Council’s dynamic purchasing system route, with the requirement evaluated through that mini-competition. The contract is for services, and the opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award shows Leicester City Council buys specific taxi and passenger transport journeys through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than only through broad, one-off procurements. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, provide dependable journey delivery in the East Midlands and manage route-specific services to the Council’s standard. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses considering this buyer’s requirements should therefore assess their fleet capacity, driver availability, operational reliability and ability to participate in mini-competitions under the Council’s established purchasing route.
