Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey to Leicester College’s Freemans Park Campus. The requirement is a taxi service, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is classified as passenger transport services and is delivered in the East Midlands. It is a council-funded service intended to transport passengers on the journey identified by the campus requirement. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The opportunity is therefore relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide driver-operated vehicles for a specified college journey in the East Midlands, rather than to suppliers of general goods, construction or unrelated professional services.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 21 August 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS for £19,867, including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 09:00. It was a services procurement, evaluated through the council’s DPS mini-competition route. The award is active and covers the full requirement for the Leicester College Freemans Park Campus journey. The procurement was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award demonstrates a specific council demand for driver-operated taxi or passenger transport services supporting college travel in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for a future requirement from Leicester City Council would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide qualified drivers and deliver a reliable journey-based service for an education setting. The relevant route to market is the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, with work allocated through mini-competitions. The buyer’s stated suitability assessment points towards established passenger transport providers rather than SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses considering this market should therefore be prepared for council DPS participation and competition on individual transport journeys.
