Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey associated with Quorn Hall School, under the title “37226 - QUORN HALL SCHOOL”. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with related provision involving passenger transport vehicles supplied with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a service contract focused on transporting passengers for a specified school journey, rather than supplying vehicles without drivers or general vehicle hire. The requirement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements and is relevant to taxi operators and other businesses able to provide driven passenger transport for this type of route.

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 stated procurement method is an open procedure. The tender deadline was 1 September 2026 at 9:00 am. The contract was awarded on 1 September 2026 to CityRides Leicester Ltd for £29,227, with an active contract running from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. This is a single awarded requirement; no lot structure or separate awards are reported. The tender’s stated suitability indicates that it was not reserved for small or medium-sized enterprises or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process has therefore concluded and is not seeking further tenders.

For a future requirement from Leicester City Council, credible competitors would need to provide dependable taxi or other driven passenger transport for a defined school journey in the East Midlands. The awarded supplier is identified as a large business, indicating that the buyer has used a provider able to deliver this service at an established operational scale. Relevant strengths would include suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately qualified and available drivers, reliable route delivery and the operational capacity to maintain regular school-related transport. Experience of public-sector passenger transport and readiness to participate in the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition route would also be commercially relevant. Taxi firms seeking similar Council work should be able to demonstrate consistent service delivery and manage the requirements of a specified passenger route.
