Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Homefield College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, corresponding to CPV 60120000 and CPV 60170000. Delivery is in England, United Kingdom. The buyer is Leicester City Council, which uses these services to transport passengers for the stated Homefield College journey. This is a service contract rather than a supply or construction opportunity. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for education-related journeys and work with a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 24 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 24 August 2026. AZOOM TAXIS was selected for a contract valued at £23,634. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. It was run as a services procurement, with the requirement handled through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System route.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for passenger transport linked to Homefield College, delivered through its established Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses that could compete for a similar requirement would need to operate taxi or private hire services, or provide passenger vehicles with drivers, and be able to deliver scheduled journeys reliably for an education setting. Credibility would depend on having suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and the operational capacity to meet council service requirements. The Council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System provides a route for relevant transport operators to participate in future mini-competitions for comparable passenger journeys.
