Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Oakwood Community School, under the title reference 37058. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle-hire purchase, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide dependable, driver-led journeys for pupils or the school community. The service falls within the broader passenger transport services market managed by the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 20 July 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD. The awarded value is £32,760, inclusive of the stated GBP currency. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. It followed a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 20 July 2026 at 9am. The award is active. The opportunity was evaluated as a services procurement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport, with the selected supplier identified as HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD.

For a future requirement of this type, credible suppliers would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport vehicles with suitably qualified drivers and the operational capacity to deliver a regular school journey reliably. Experience of pupil or school transport would help demonstrate safe, punctual and consistent service delivery. Suppliers would also need to understand Leicester City Council’s passenger transport operating arrangements and be able to participate through its Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition route. The award shows that the Council uses an established transport framework to source specific journeys, and that a substantial, established operator can satisfy this kind of requirement. Relevant firms should therefore maintain appropriate vehicles, driver availability, scheduling systems and public-sector tendering capability.
