Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Quorn Hall School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, providing transport in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation, based in Leicester. This is a school transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant suppliers are operators able to provide driven passenger journeys for the council’s education-related needs. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, covering taxi firms and other providers of passenger transport services. The named requirement is “37281 - Quorn Hall School”, indicating that the work is tied to transport for that school.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded to CITYRIDES LTD on 14 September 2026 for £34,948. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 09:00. The award is active and covers a single stated journey; no separate lots are identified. The procurement is categorised as services, with the requirement evaluated through the council’s mini-competition route within the DPS. The outcome shows that CITYRIDES LTD was selected to deliver the Quorn Hall School transport service for the specified contract period.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the procurement provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s recurring demand for dedicated school passenger transport. A credible competitor would need to operate taxis or passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver reliable, scheduled journeys connected with a school transport requirement in the East Midlands. The relevant route to market is the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, followed by a mini-competition for an individual journey or service requirement. Providers should therefore be equipped to respond to council-specific transport specifications, demonstrate dependable operational delivery and maintain sufficient vehicle and driver availability for a school service. The awarded supplier’s position as a large operator indicates the importance of established transport capacity and delivery resilience.
