Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for journeys to Leicester College’s Freemans Campus. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with vehicle hire including a driver also covered. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, serving the council’s transport needs for this college journey. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers with vehicles and drivers suitable for planned journeys involving a public-sector education setting.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded to AZOOM TAXIS on 8 September 2026 for £60,021. The contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 8 September 2026 at 09:00. The published procurement value was also £60,021. The opportunity was assessed as a passenger transport service requirement, with the award made through the DPS mini-competition route. Leicester City Council’s stated procurement category was services, and the selected supplier holds the active award for the full contract period.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport connected with Leicester College’s Freemans Campus. A future competitor would need dependable taxi or private-hire operations, access to suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately qualified drivers and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently across the East Midlands. Experience of working to council transport requirements would help demonstrate credibility, particularly where journeys involve an education setting and dependable service is important. Suppliers should also understand how to participate in the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and compete effectively through its mini-competition process. The requirement is substantial enough to suit an established operator able to manage the service reliably.
