Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport for a journey serving Sense College. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, rather than vehicle hire alone. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The contracting information identifies the journey by the college name but does not give further route or passenger details. This is a council transport service requirement, relevant to operators able to provide taxi or other driver-led passenger transport for the specified journey.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to skylinetaxisltd@hotmail.com. The award was made on 23 October 2026, at a value of £36,951. The award record gives a contract period from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028; the tender information separately records 28 October 2026 as the start date. The process was a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The closing deadline was 23 October 2026 at 09:00. The procurement record gives no specific evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this journey.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys journey-specific passenger transport for Sense College through a mini-competition within its passenger transport purchasing system. A credible competitor when this requirement returns would need to operate taxi or other passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the college journey in the East Midlands. The award went to a supplier recorded as a large business, while this procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The contract covers a substantial, continuing service rather than a one-off journey, so operators would need the capacity to sustain delivery across the stated service period. The published requirement does not establish particular vehicle specifications, passenger needs, or qualifications, so these should not be assumed.
