Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as Leicester Partnership School. The requirement is for taxi transport, with the related hire of passenger vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a specific school-journey transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire contract, and the buying organisation is Leicester City Council.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to HANSOM TAXI following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The award date was 30 September 2026. The awarded value is £25,623. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was conducted using an open procedure. The published information identifies the transport service and journey but gives no separate evaluation criteria or lot structure.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for taxi transport serving Leicester Partnership School, through competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers aiming to compete for this specific requirement when it next comes to market would need to provide suitable vehicles with drivers and reliably deliver a school journey in the East Midlands. The procurement is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises, so organisations of those types may be relevant competitors. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, indicating that a taxi operator was able to meet the requirement. Credibility rests on being able to provide the passenger transport service required for the school journey.
