Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Fullhurst Community College: a journey-specific taxi service, including transport in a passenger vehicle with a driver. The service is for the journey identified by the college requirement; the procurement does not describe further route or operating details. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a transport services requirement rather than a vehicle purchase. Leicester City Council is the buyer. The procurement falls within the taxi services category (CPV 60120000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to azoом taxis following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 6 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £27,144. The contract period runs from 8 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender deadline was 6 October 2026 at 09:00. The published information does not give an evaluation formula or scored criteria, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be stated. This was a single journey-specific requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for journey-specific taxi transport for a local college, bought through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers seeking to compete for comparable requirements should be able to provide passenger transport with a driver and respond to individual journey requirements through that route. The award shows that the buyer selected a taxi operator for a defined service rather than buying vehicles. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller providers as well as larger operators may be relevant competitors. The successful supplier was azoом taxis; the stated requirement centres on transport delivery, with no specific accreditation, fleet size or operating capability identified.
