Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “Catherine Infant”. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with an additional classification for hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. This is a service contract for providing the required transport journey rather than supplying vehicles without drivers. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The stated requirement concerns a specific passenger transport journey, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to deliver scheduled journeys in the East Midlands. The procurement relates to the Council’s passenger transport requirements and was run through its established Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services.

This procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award date was 21 August 2026. The contract was awarded to EVEREST TAXIS for £25,740 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement method is described as “Other”. The award is active. Leicester City Council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award covers one passenger transport requirement.

For businesses assessing future demand from Leicester City Council, this award demonstrates a recurring requirement for dedicated passenger transport on a specific journey, delivered through the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition route. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers, organise reliable journey provision and meet the Council’s requirements for scheduled passenger services. The selected supplier, EVEREST TAXIS, is recorded as a large organisation, while the procurement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Providers considering this buyer should therefore assess whether they have sufficient operational capacity, appropriately licensed vehicles and drivers, and the organisational scale to participate through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System.
