## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport services for a journey associated with Elmbrook School. The requirement is categorised as taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The procurement concerns a specific school transport journey rather than a general transport service. It is relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide safe, reliable journeys for school-related travel. The requirement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements and relates to a named school route or journey, although the route itself is not described here.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to CITYRIDES on 10 September 2026 for £25,143. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 9:00am. The contract uses a services procurement route for taxi and passenger transport with drivers. The published outcome records one active award and one supplier. The tender stated that tenders were no longer being sought at the point of award. The opportunity was identified as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win, this award demonstrates that Leicester City Council buys dedicated school passenger transport through mini-competitions within its passenger transport purchasing system. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this type would need to operate taxi or private hire passenger transport with drivers and have the vehicles, drivers and operational capacity to provide a dependable school journey. It would also need to understand the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System and be able to respond effectively to individual mini-competition requirements. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with established capacity for this type of council transport service. Relevant experience in scheduled school journeys and reliable day-to-day service delivery would strengthen a competing offer.
