Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for a journey to The Magpie Learning Centre. The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver, delivered in England. The council is the buyer. This is a defined journey rather than a general transport service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide the required passenger journey to the learning centre. The procurement formed part of the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, through which it runs mini-competitions for transport requirements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Skyline Taxis on 6 October 2026, following a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The procedure is recorded as open. The awarded value is £31,520. The contract period runs from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The submission deadline was 6 October 2026. The procurement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria or lot structure are set out in the published process details.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for taxi transport to The Magpie Learning Centre through its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. Suppliers competing for comparable requirements will need to provide taxi services and passenger transport vehicles with drivers, and to respond to individual journey requirements through mini-competitions under the system. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller operators could be relevant competitors. The selected supplier was identified as a large business, showing that larger operators also compete for this work. A credible supplier would need the operating capacity to deliver the specified journey reliably and to participate in the council’s route for sourcing passenger transport.
