## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey identified as “West Gate”, covering taxi services and hire of passenger vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The requirement is for a specific journey rather than a broader transport service, so it is most relevant to operators able to provide the required journey for the Council. The procurement was run under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 16 October 2026. The contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2027 and is valued at £18,662. The stated procurement value and award value are the same. Leicester City Council marked the service as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The published details identify the journey and the transport category but do not state evaluation criteria or additional eligibility requirements.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys individual, journey-specific passenger transport through competition within its dynamic purchasing system, rather than relying solely on a single general transport contract. Taxi operators and firms hiring passenger vehicles with drivers are the most directly relevant competitors, particularly those able to fulfil the West Gate journey in the East Midlands. The successful supplier was a large business, while the Council also marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs, indicating that smaller operators may be relevant to this kind of requirement. A credible competitor would need the operational capacity to deliver the specified journey and to participate in a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport system.
