Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey associated with Leicester College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. The work is classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with CPV 60170000 covering passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the buying organisation based in Leicester. This is a passenger transport service requirement managed by Leicester City Council’s Passenger and Transport Services function. The stated scope is limited to the Leicester College journey, so it is most relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide the required journey using suitable vehicles and drivers.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The council used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 17 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 17 July 2026. The contract was awarded to (Adam’s transport) for £29,250 including the stated GBP currency. Its contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process concerns one stated journey and has been recorded as complete, with an active award.

For transport operators that did not win this award, the procurement shows that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys through mini-competitions under its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future supplier would need to provide taxi or passenger transport services with drivers, operate in or serve the East Midlands, and respond to the council’s DPS competition route. The completed award also indicates demand for a dedicated Leicester College journey at a defined contract scale, rather than an unrestricted fleet or general transport service. Taxi firms and other passenger transport businesses that can demonstrate reliable delivery of scheduled journeys, appropriate vehicle availability and the operational capacity to meet council requirements are the closest commercial comparators for a future requirement of this type.
