Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services associated with Hardwick House School. The requirement is primarily taxi services, with the additional provision of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is categorised as services and is to be delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement concerns a specific journey identified with the Hardwick House School requirement, rather than a general transport operation. Suppliers relevant to this type of work include taxi operators and businesses providing chauffeured or driver-operated passenger vehicles. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester, which is responsible for arranging and funding the service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. It used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 26 August 2026 at 09:00. AZOOM TAXIS received the award on 26 August 2026 for £54,288. The awarded contract runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active, and the procurement records the contract as complete. The requirement was not divided into separately reported lots. The award followed the Council’s DPS route, so suppliers seeking similar work would need to participate through that purchasing system and meet its applicable requirements.

For a future requirement of this type, a credible competitor would need to provide reliable taxi or passenger transport vehicle services for a school-related journey in the East Midlands. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. This indicates that the buyer selected a supplier able to operate at a larger organisational scale. Relevant capability would therefore include dependable driver-operated vehicles, capacity to deliver scheduled passenger journeys consistently, and the operational resources needed to manage a Council passenger transport arrangement through its dynamic purchasing system.
