Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for a journey identified only as “CONTACT”. The requirement was for taxi services, potentially involving a passenger vehicle with a driver, delivered in the East Midlands. The available description does not clarify the journey’s route, passengers, vehicle specification or service arrangements, so the work is best matched by operators able to provide council passenger transport rather than by suppliers seeking a defined route or fleet requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to ADAM'S TRANSPORT. Leicester City Council ran a mini-competition through its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award date was 20 October 2026 and the awarded value was £66. The contract period runs from 5 to 6 November 2026. The submission deadline was 20 October 2026. The procurement is recorded as a services contract and suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No specific evaluation criteria or lot structure are stated in the available details.

This award shows Leicester City Council uses a dynamic purchasing system and mini-competitions to buy individual passenger transport journeys. Suppliers competing for similar council work would need to provide taxi or other passenger transport with a driver and be able to deliver short, journey-specific requirements in the East Midlands. The contract was small in scale and brief, indicating that operators capable of taking on discrete assignments may be relevant, rather than only providers of large transport programmes. The winning supplier was recorded as a large business, while the procurement was considered suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No particular vehicle, route-planning, passenger-care or accreditation requirements are described, so the award does not establish those as conditions for future competitions.
