Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey serving Quorn Hall School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, placing it within school and passenger transport operations. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation, with the service forming part of its passenger transport provision. The procurement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. It was run as a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, indicating a requirement that can be delivered by appropriately equipped local taxi and private-hire operators, or by passenger transport businesses with suitable vehicles and drivers.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following an open-procedure mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender closed on 24 July 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 24 July 2026. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to CityRides Leicester Ltd for £25,740. The contract runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The evaluation basis recorded for the procurement was the open procedure, with the requirement focused on taxi and passenger transport services with a driver. This is a single awarded requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately awarded lots.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates a defined local market for contracted school passenger transport in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, provide suitable vehicles with drivers, and reliably cover journeys associated with Quorn Hall School. Local availability and the ability to deliver scheduled school transport would be commercially relevant, as would the operational capacity to maintain consistent service throughout the contract period. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this type of requirement. Access to the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and the ability to respond to mini-competitions would be important to competing for similar council journeys.
