Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council contracted for taxi and chauffeur-driven passenger transport for the journey identified in the procurement title, “37328 school and contact”. The requirement is a transport service rather than the supply of vehicles. Delivery is in the East Midlands; Leicester City Council is the buyer. The stated scope is limited to this journey, with no further route or passenger details in the procurement description. The service sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport arrangements, but this contract concerns a specific journey rather than a general transport service.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS on 23 September 2026. The contract value is £19,500. The contract period runs from 28 September to 18 December 2026. The Council used an open mini-competition under its dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The recorded tender deadline was 23 September 2026. The procurement information does not set out evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this individual award. The Council’s suitability indicator marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows demand from Leicester City Council for a discrete, chauffeur-driven passenger journey, procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A future competitor would need to be able to provide taxi or comparable passenger transport with a driver for a defined school-and-contact journey in the East Midlands, and to compete through the Council’s established purchasing route. The selected supplier is recorded as a large business, while the Council marked this requirement unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. That makes the Council’s stated supplier suitability important context for businesses assessing fit. The award provides evidence of a short-term, journey-specific requirement rather than a broad fleet or transport-management contract.
