Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council has procured transport services for the journey identified as Keyham Lodge School. The requirement falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s passenger transport needs. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for the Council and operate in the East Midlands.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to hansom taxis on 21 July 2026 for £15,070. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 July 2026 at 9.00am. The award is active, and the process is no longer seeking tenders. This was a services procurement using the Council’s established passenger transport DPS route, with the requirement competed among suppliers in that system. The award covers the Keyham Lodge School journey rather than a wider passenger transport programme.

This award demonstrates recurring Council demand for driver-led school transport in the East Midlands and shows that a taxi or passenger transport operator can secure work through Leicester City Council’s passenger transport DPS. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need suitable licensed vehicles, appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently. Firms should also be able to manage passenger transport obligations, maintain dependable day-to-day service and respond to mini-competitions under the DPS. The opportunity is relevant to smaller operators as well as larger transport businesses, particularly those with local coverage and experience of working to public-sector service requirements.
