Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Keyham Lodge School, under reference 37088. The requirement is described as taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, supporting school-related passenger travel rather than the supply of vehicles alone. The council is the buyer and the service sits within its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driven journeys for a public-sector client. It may also suit smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, as the procurement was identified as suitable for both SMEs and VCSEs.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made to azoом on 3 August 2026 for £17,199. The awarded contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The wider tender record shows a contract period extending to 31 July 2038, but the award record sets the supplier’s period to 2028. The tender submission deadline was 3 August 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement was for services and used the council’s DPS mini-competition route. The process is complete and the award is active. The published procurement value and awarded value are both £17,199, in GBP.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for scheduled passenger transport connected with a Leicester City Council school journey. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or private-hire vehicles with drivers and deliver dependable passenger transport in the East Midlands. Relevant strengths include reliable vehicle availability, suitable passenger capacity, qualified and appropriately licensed drivers, effective scheduling and dispatch, and the ability to meet safeguarding and service standards associated with school travel. Firms should also be able to respond through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and compete in individual mini-competitions. The opportunity is particularly relevant to taxi businesses and other smaller passenger transport providers with sufficient operational capacity to cover the required journey consistently and manage public-sector contract administration.
