Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with the related provision of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council based in Leicester. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport arrangements and concerns a specific school transport journey rather than a general fleet or transport management service. It is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for school-related journeys in the East Midlands. Both small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises were identified as suitable organisation types for this requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 27 July 2026 to HANSOM TAXIS. The awarded value is £15,187. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was run as a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender submission deadline was 27 July 2026 at 9:00am. The award covers the Keyham Lodge School transport journey and uses the taxi and passenger transport vehicle categories. The award is active, and the procurement record identifies HANSOM TAXIS as the selected supplier. The published procurement value and award value are both £15,187.

For suppliers that did not secure this award, the procurement demonstrates a defined requirement for school passenger transport from Leicester City Council, delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and have the practical capacity to provide a dedicated school journey in the East Midlands. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, so smaller operators may be relevant alongside larger taxi firms. Experience organising reliable school transport, maintaining suitable driver and vehicle availability, and responding to mini-competitions through the council’s DPS would support competitiveness when comparable requirements return.
