Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a home-to-school and contact journey. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering transport delivered in the East Midlands. The work sits within the Council’s passenger transport service and concerns a specific journey rather than a general transport network or fleet supply. A supplier would need to provide passenger journeys using taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers, with reliable operational delivery for school and contact-related travel. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is categorised as services and is relevant to taxi operators, private hire companies and passenger transport providers able to deliver local or regional contracted journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 9 September 2026 to SKYLINE TAXIS for £32,023. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 9 September 2026 at 9:00am. The opportunity was evaluated through the Council’s DPS mini-competition route; the published information does not set out separate quality or price weightings. The contract covers one stated transport journey and has a completed tender status. The award is active, with Leicester City Council as buyer and SKYLINE TAXIS as the appointed supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and driver-provided passenger transport supporting home-to-school and contact journeys. It is commercially relevant to established taxi firms, private hire operators and passenger transport businesses with the vehicles, drivers, scheduling capability and operational reliability needed for planned journeys involving children or contact arrangements. The recorded supplier is classified as a large organisation, while the procurement was not identified as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that future competitors should be able to demonstrate comparable capacity and dependable service delivery. Businesses seeking similar Council work would need to understand and compete through the passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and respond effectively to journey-specific mini-competitions.
