Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “FSD Academy”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, corresponding to CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom, for the Council’s transport needs. This is a services contract rather than a goods supply or construction project. The stated requirement is specifically for transport services on the named journey, so relevant businesses are passenger transport operators, taxi firms and vehicle-with-driver providers able to deliver journeys in the East Midlands. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation.

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 tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9:00am. The contract was awarded on 24 August 2026 to Hansom Taxis LTD for £21,048 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement is identified as a services opportunity and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award is active, and the named supplier is responsible for the contracted passenger transport requirement. No lot structure or separate evaluation weighting is stated in the procurement information.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi and passenger transport vehicle services supporting a specific journey to or from FSD Academy. Businesses that may be well placed for a future requirement of this kind include taxi operators and passenger transport providers with access to suitable vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys reliably in the East Midlands. The process also shows that the Council uses a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to buy passenger transport services, making familiarity with that route important for suppliers seeking similar Council work. Small and medium-sized firms are explicitly suitable, so a local operator with dependable dispatch, driver cover and consistent service delivery could be credible when this requirement returns to market.
