## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Leicester Partnership School. The requirement is classified as taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buyer and the service sits within its passenger transport needs. The opportunity is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport businesses able to provide vehicles with drivers for school-related journeys. It is a services contract rather than a purchase of vehicles or other goods, and the requirement is specific to transport provision for the named journey.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 August 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd. The awarded value is £23,377. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, using an open procedure. The tender closing time was 12 August 2026 at 9:00am. Leicester City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active, with one supplier selected for the requirement.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi and passenger transport vehicle services with drivers, linked to a Leicester Partnership School journey. Competitors preparing for similar council requirements would need an operating model capable of delivering reliable, scheduled passenger transport, with suitable vehicles and appropriately qualified drivers. Experience in taxi or private-hire operations and the ability to manage a council Dynamic Purchasing System mini-competition would be directly relevant. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the procurement, so organisations of those types with the necessary transport capacity may be credible participants when comparable requirements return.
