Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for Netherhall Mead Academy, covering the journey identified as “37276 - NETHERHALL MEAD ACADEMY”. The requirement is a taxi service, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. It is a service contract intended to transport passengers for the academy rather than supply vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi and other passenger transport services. It is therefore relevant to established taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled journeys for an education client.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 September 2026 following a mini-competition under the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The stated procurement route was an open procedure. AZOOM TAXIS received the award for £27,378. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The requirement concerns one academy transport journey, with the service delivered in the East Midlands. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies the successful supplier and award value, but does not set out a separate quality, price or other evaluation weighting. The council had stopped seeking tenders at the point of award.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for contracted taxi and passenger transport supporting an academy journey, procured through a Dynamic Purchasing System and then competed as an individual requirement. A credible competitor for similar council work would need to provide reliable passenger transport, suitable vehicles with drivers, and operational capacity for scheduled education-related journeys in the East Midlands. Firms should also be able to participate in the council’s Passenger Transport Services DPS and respond to mini-competitions under its rules. The successful provider was recorded as a large taxi business, indicating that the buyer selected an established operator able to take responsibility for the required service rather than a vehicle-only hire company.
