Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “37093 – Pindar Nursery”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting transport to and from the nursery. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Leicester. This is a local authority transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire contract: the relevant supplier would provide managed passenger journeys using taxis or other suitable vehicles with drivers. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi firms and other passenger transport providers serving Council needs.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, PAN3059. It used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 29 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 29 July 2026. CityRides Leicester Ltd received the contract for £15,362, with the contract running from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender was classified as a services procurement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport. Leicester City Council marked the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active.

For a supplier that did not win this award, the requirement demonstrates recurring Council demand for reliable, driver-provided transport linked to a nursery journey. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles, provide appropriately qualified and dependable drivers, and manage scheduled journeys consistently for a public-sector customer. Local knowledge of Leicester and the wider East Midlands would support route planning and service resilience. The procurement route is significant: future opportunities of this type are competed through the Council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, so suppliers seeking comparable work would need to understand and qualify for that system before participating in its mini-competitions. The Council’s stated suitability assessment indicates that larger established operators are the intended market.
