Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Millgate School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, for school-related transport under the Council’s passenger transport arrangements. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The service is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys for a school route. The procurement concerns a specific transport journey, rather than a broad fleet, network or general transport management service.

This procurement is complete and was awarded on 1 September 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. It used an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 1 September 2026 at 9.00am. AZOOM TAXIS was awarded the contract for £21,528 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 2 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published data identifies the award as active. The procurement was evaluated through the open-procedure process, with the award made to the selected supplier for the specified school transport journey. No separate lot structure is identified.

This award indicates demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated, driver-led passenger transport serving a school journey. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire vehicles, provide appropriately licensed and reliable drivers, and manage scheduled school transport safely and consistently. The requirement suits an established transport operator with the vehicles, staffing, dispatch and operational resilience to deliver a defined route rather than ad hoc journeys. Experience of education or passenger transport work would help demonstrate dependable service, safeguarding awareness and the ability to meet Council requirements. The award was made through a Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition, so suppliers seeking comparable Council work would need to understand and operate through that route.
