Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey associated with Spinney Hill Primary School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, placing it within the passenger transport sector rather than general vehicle supply. The work is delivered in England. It is a service contract intended to provide passenger travel for the school journey identified in the procurement title. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The requirement is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, making it relevant to local taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles and drivers.

The procurement has been awarded and is marked complete. Leicester City Council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to AZOOM TAXIS on 5 August 2026 for £19,539 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 5 August 2026 at 09:00. The opportunity was evaluated through the mini-competition route; the available procurement record does not set out the individual award criteria. There was one recorded award and one supplier, covering the passenger transport service for the Spinney Hill Primary School journey.

This award demonstrates established demand from Leicester City Council for scheduled school-related passenger transport delivered by taxi or private-hire operators. Suppliers well placed for a comparable requirement would have appropriately licensed vehicles, professional drivers, reliable dispatch and scheduling arrangements, and the capacity to provide consistent journeys over a sustained service period. Experience in passenger transport, particularly school travel, would help demonstrate dependable operation, safeguarding awareness, punctuality and effective communication with the council. Smaller operators and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations were identified as suitable participants, so credible local providers may compete alongside larger firms. A future entrant would need to show operational resilience, vehicle availability and the ability to maintain service continuity for the named school journey.
