Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the journey associated with Imperial Avenue Infant School. The requirement is taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. This is a specific school transport journey rather than a general transport service. The council is the buyer, and the procurement was run through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, with a mini-competition for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to CITYRIDES TAXI on 24 September 2026. The awarded value is £17,550. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The council used an open mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026. The published details identify the requirement as a single journey; no separate lots or evaluation criteria are reported. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable to take part.

This award shows demand from Leicester City Council for a defined school passenger-transport journey, procured through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition. Suppliers well placed for a similar requirement will need to provide taxi transport and passenger vehicles with drivers, with the operational ability to deliver the specified journey for an infant school. The council’s stated suitability for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that this type of requirement is not limited to large suppliers. The award went to CITYRIDES TAXI, demonstrating that a taxi operator was selected for this contract. Businesses with relevant passenger-transport capability and the capacity to meet a dedicated school journey would be relevant competitors when this buyer next requires the service.
