## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Parkhouse Farm. The requirement is primarily for taxi services, with the related provision of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The service is intended to provide transport for a specific council journey rather than a broad transport network or general fleet supply. This is a local authority requirement managed by Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The work falls within the passenger transport services market and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and other providers able to supply vehicles with drivers for scheduled council journeys.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The procurement method is described as an open procedure. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to AI HIGHFIELDS on 10 September 2026 for £7,410. The contract runs from 14 September 2026 to 30 July 2027. The tender record identifies the requirement as a single Parkhouse Farm journey. The council’s published suitability assessment marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, with AI HIGHFIELDS identified as the selected supplier.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for dependable, driver-provided passenger transport on a defined local journey. Suppliers competing for comparable council requirements would need suitable taxi or private-hire vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently throughout the service period. Reliability, punctuality, safe passenger handling and the ability to manage council booking and service requirements would be important commercial strengths. The buyer’s assessment indicates that this requirement was not suited to SMEs, so a credible competitor would need sufficient organisational scale and resources for the council’s expectations. Experience delivering contracted passenger transport would help demonstrate operational control and service continuity.
