## Summary

Leicester City Council procured a short passenger transport service for the journey identified as “CONTACT”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than vehicle supply or general transport infrastructure. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council based in Leicester. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport services requirements and is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers able to undertake the specified journey. The work is categorised as services and concerns the direct provision of passenger journeys for the council. Businesses considering comparable council transport work should assess whether they can provide appropriately operated vehicles and drivers for individual journeys in this area.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. ASA Transport was selected on 18 September 2026 for £76 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 13 October 2026 to 14 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 18 September 2026 at 09:00. The requirement was assessed as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The purchasing route was a mini-competition within the council’s dynamic purchasing system, with the service requirement focused on taxi and driver-provided passenger transport. The award is active and covers the same short journey service for the East Midlands delivery area.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its passenger transport purchasing system to source individual taxi and driver-provided journeys, including requirements that can suit smaller operators. A credible competitor for comparable work would need reliable passenger transport vehicles, suitably qualified and dependable drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver a specified journey precisely and safely. Local knowledge of Leicester and the wider East Midlands would help with routing, timing and service resilience. Firms should also be able to respond effectively to mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system, understand the council’s passenger transport requirements and provide clear evidence of capability for each journey. The opportunity is most relevant to established taxi, private-hire and specialist passenger transport businesses.
