Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for a journey identified with Elm Brook School. The requirement is for taxi transport, with vehicles and drivers, and delivery is recorded in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer. This is a specific school-related transport requirement rather than a general vehicle hire contract; the published description does not explain the journey route or passenger arrangements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to NMI TAXI. The award date was 24 September 2026, and the awarded value was £29,250. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, using an open procedure. The tender deadline was 24 September 2026. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate. The procurement information does not set out the evaluation criteria.

This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi transport linked to Elm Brook School, procured through a mini-competition under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. For a comparable requirement, credible suppliers would need to provide passenger transport by taxi, with vehicles and drivers, and be able to serve the relevant East Midlands journey. The stated suitability for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that participation is not limited to large providers. The award gives a practical indication of the scale of this individual school transport requirement, but does not describe the route, passenger needs, vehicle specification or service schedule. Suppliers with relevant taxi transport capacity and the ability to meet school journey requirements are the closest fit.
