Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Caldecote Community Primary School. The requirement is for transport services for the journey identified in the procurement title, delivered using taxi services or passenger transport vehicles with a driver. This is a services contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The relevant work covers taxi services (CPV 60120000) and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver (CPV 60170000). Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. Businesses relevant to this requirement include taxi operators, private-hire vehicle firms and passenger transport providers able to provide reliable, driver-operated journeys for a primary school under the Council’s passenger transport arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, PAN3059. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to Everest Taxis on 21 August 2026. The awarded value is £10,920. The award contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender record shows an intended contract period from 24 August 2026 to 9 July 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The published procurement method detail is “Other”.

This award provides a clear example of Leicester City Council’s demand for school passenger transport and its route to market: taxi and passenger transport requirements are competed through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable vehicles with drivers, organise dependable journeys for a primary school, and meet the operational and compliance requirements of the Council’s passenger transport system. The requirement is accessible in principle to smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so local taxi firms and other appropriately structured operators may be well placed where they can demonstrate the necessary transport capacity, reliability and service standards. Experience delivering safe, consistent school journeys would strengthen a supplier’s position when similar work returns.
