## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for a journey associated with Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is taxi transport, including transport by a passenger vehicle with a driver. The recorded delivery location is England; no more specific destination is identified. The Council is the buyer, and the service supports travel to or from the named school. The procurement sits within the Council’s passenger transport services activity, specifically taxi services. Small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises were considered suitable for this type of work. The stated requirement concerns a particular school journey rather than a general taxi service across the Council’s wider transport network.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to Skyline Taxis following a mini-competition under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system for passenger transport services. The award date was 1 October 2026. The awarded value is £23,517. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The invitation to submit tenders closed on 1 October 2026 at 09:00. This was a services procurement, and the published information does not set out the evaluation criteria or explain how bids were scored. The award is recorded as active. There is one selected supplier and one school-journey requirement; no separate lot awards are described.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for school-related taxi transport arranged through a mini-competition in its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide passenger transport and driver services suited to a defined school journey, with the operational capacity to deliver the service reliably across the contract period. The award went to a taxi supplier, showing that a specialist taxi business can meet this requirement. The Council marked small and medium-sized enterprises as suitable, so smaller operators were considered capable of competing, alongside larger firms. Businesses focused on school transport and able to respond to mini-competitions within the Council’s passenger transport purchasing route are the closest fit; this is not a general opportunity for unrelated transport services.
