## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Leicester College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, intended to provide transport for the stated college journey. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the procurement is categorised as a service contract. This is a focused, route-specific transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so it is most relevant to taxi operators, private-hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide driver-led journeys connected with Leicester College. The procurement was run through the council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangements and has reached completion following selection of a supplier.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 14 September 2026 to Victoria Cabs for £33,813, inclusive of the stated contract value currency, GBP. The contract period runs from 16 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 September 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used a service procedure described as “Other” and the award is recorded as active. Leicester City Council considers the opportunity suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations. The contract concerns one transport requirement and one selected supplier; no separate lot awards are recorded.

This award provides a clear benchmark for businesses targeting council-funded passenger transport for education journeys in Leicester and the wider East Midlands. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport, provide vehicles with drivers, and reliably deliver a defined journey for Leicester College. The requirement is suitable for smaller operators as well as larger transport businesses, so local taxi firms with dependable vehicle access and the capacity to meet scheduled education-related travel could be relevant when comparable council requirements return. Businesses should be able to demonstrate consistent operational delivery, appropriate passenger transport capability and the ability to manage a single, route-specific service rather than only offering general vehicle hire. Experience of working to public-sector service requirements would strengthen their position.
