Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “ALP Leicester”. The requirement is classified as taxi services, with an additional classification covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in England, with the council based in Leicester. The service is intended for a defined passenger journey rather than a broader transport network or vehicle supply arrangement. This is a service opportunity for taxi operators and other passenger transport businesses able to provide vehicles with drivers. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport requirements and concerns the operational delivery of journeys for the council’s users.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 21 August 2026. AZOOM TAXIS was selected for a contract valued at £20,241. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. Leicester City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published procurement method detail describes the process as “Other”. The requirement was treated as a services procurement for taxi and driver-provided passenger transport.

This award indicates recurring demand from Leicester City Council for individually specified passenger journeys delivered by taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Businesses well placed for a future requirement of this kind would be established taxi firms or passenger transport operators with suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified drivers and the operational capacity to provide reliable journeys for council users. Small and medium-sized enterprises, as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, were considered suitable supplier types for this procurement. Familiarity with the council’s PAN3059 Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route would be commercially relevant. Competitors would need to demonstrate dependable day-to-day service delivery for a defined journey and the ability to meet the council’s passenger transport requirements.
