Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Westgate. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was run as a mini competition under that arrangement. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are licensed taxi operators and other providers able to deliver scheduled passenger journeys using suitable vehicles and drivers. The named route is the key scope identifier for understanding the service required.

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 procedure was described as open. The estimated and awarded value is £17,141 including the stated currency of GBP. The award was made on 21 July 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award covers the Westgate passenger transport journey in the East Midlands. The opportunity was evaluated as a transport-services requirement, with the classification covering taxi services and passenger vehicle hire with a driver. The procurement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs.

This award is commercially relevant to taxi firms and passenger transport operators serving Leicester and the wider East Midlands. It demonstrates that Leicester City Council buys route-specific passenger transport through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, rather than only through a single large general tender. A credible future supplier would need to provide taxi or chauffeured passenger transport, dependable vehicles and drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver a defined journey reliably over a sustained contract period. The requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that the Council regarded the expected supplier profile as larger or more established than those categories. Experience delivering contracted passenger journeys would strengthen a competitor’s position.
