Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Miller House School. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than vehicle supply or infrastructure works. Delivery is in the East Midlands, within the United Kingdom. The procurement sits within the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and was run as a mini-competition under that arrangement. It is therefore relevant to taxi firms, private-hire operators and other passenger transport providers able to carry out scheduled school-related journeys for Leicester City Council. The named buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The requirement concerns a specific school transport journey rather than a broad, multi-route transport service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following an open mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 29 July 2026. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to Shafi-Ullah Adam for £23,985. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was evaluated as an open procedure for passenger transport services, with taxi services as the primary classification and passenger vehicles with drivers as an additional category. The tender submission deadline was 29 July 2026 at 9:00am. The published outcome states that tenders were no longer being sought at the point of award. The contract has an active award status.

For suppliers that did not win, this award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated school passenger transport delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor would need to provide taxi or private-hire transport, suitable passenger vehicles and qualified drivers, with the operational capacity to deliver a recurring school journey reliably across the East Midlands. Familiarity with the Council’s DPS route and its mini-competition process would be commercially relevant, as would the ability to respond to a defined route requirement rather than only offering ad hoc journeys. Operators should be prepared to demonstrate dependable day-to-day service, vehicle availability, driver capacity and the administrative ability to meet the Council’s tender requirements when comparable school transport needs return to the market.
