Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for Grange Therapeutic School, covering the journey identified in the procurement title. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with additional provision for hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. In practical terms, the work concerns transporting pupils to or from the school rather than supplying vehicles without drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The service sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used for taxi and other passenger transport requirements. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are therefore taxi operators and passenger transport companies able to provide driven vehicles for an education-related route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The award was made on 20 August 2026 to Everest Taxis Ltd, for £63,180 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 3 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was evaluated as a services requirement for taxi and driven passenger transport. The award is active, and the selected supplier is Everest Taxis Ltd. The underlying tender recorded a submission deadline of 20 August 2026 at 09:00, before the award was made. The opportunity is not being tendered further under this process.

For competitors, this award demonstrates established council demand for a dedicated passenger transport route connected with a therapeutic school. A credible future supplier would need to operate taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers and manage reliable education transport services for Leicester City Council. The requirement was placed through the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and awarded via a mini-competition, so familiarity with that purchasing route and the ability to respond to individual route competitions would be commercially relevant. The selected supplier was a large business, while the procurement was marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Capability should therefore be matched to the scale and operational demands of council-managed school transport.
