The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000. It is a services contract, with delivery recorded in England. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport requirements and concerns school-related transport rather than vehicle supply alone. Businesses suited to this type of work include taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for an identified school journey. The Council is the buying organisation, and the requirement forms part of its wider arrangement for sourcing passenger transport services. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 27 August 2026. CityRides Leicester Ltd was selected for £20,463 (GBP). The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The underlying tender had a submission deadline of 27 August 2026 at 08:00. The procurement used the Council’s DPS route rather than a standalone open tender. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award relates to the full school transport requirement described for the Oaklands School journey. For suppliers that did not win, this award demonstrates an established route into Leicester City Council’s passenger transport work: qualification for its Dynamic Purchasing System followed by competition for individual journeys. A credible future provider would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, supply suitable vehicles with drivers, and organise reliable delivery for school-related journeys. The buyer’s indication that the requirement is suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises shows that participation is not limited to major national transport groups. Firms should be able to evidence operational capacity, dependable scheduling and the ability to respond competitively to journey-specific competitions within the Council’s passenger transport purchasing route. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
