Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey identified as “DOVELANDS”, using taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers. The requirement is for a specific journey rather than a general transport service; the available description does not explain the route or passenger group. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The work is a passenger transport service (CPV 60120000), with vehicle hire with driver also classified (CPV 60170000).

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline Taxis. The award was made on 30 September 2026, following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award value is £30,397. The contract period runs from 5 October to 14 December 2026. The competition deadline was 30 September 2026. The procurement was classified as a service, and small and medium-sized businesses were considered suitable. The published information does not set out evaluation criteria or further participation requirements.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi-based passenger transport for a defined journey, procured through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. For future comparable requirements, a credible competitor would need to provide taxis or passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the specified journey in the East Midlands. The Council considered SMEs suitable, so this type of requirement is not limited to large operators. The award provides evidence of a short-duration, journey-specific service rather than a broad transport network contract. Taxi firms with the operational capacity to cover individual journeys and participate in the Council’s DPS route are best placed to compete when comparable requirements arise.
