## Summary

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for the journey identified as “Marriott Primary”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, classified under CPV 60120000 and 60170000. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a service contract for transporting passengers rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general logistics requirement. The council is the buying organisation and is based in Leicester. The procurement formed part of the council’s passenger transport activity, with the specific journey linked to Marriott Primary. Businesses considering similar work for this buyer should therefore be able to provide booked passenger journeys using suitable vehicles and drivers, and operate within the East Midlands area.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 21 September 2026, with the response deadline having been 21 September 2026 at 9am. CITYRIDES LTD was selected for a contract worth £28,057. The contract period runs from 23 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award is active. The process used a service procurement route within the council’s passenger transport DPS; the published information describes the outcome as a completed mini-competition. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. This opportunity is therefore an awarded transport contract, not an invitation to submit a tender.

This award shows that Leicester City Council purchases dedicated passenger transport for individual school-related journeys, using a DPS mini-competition route. A credible future competitor would need an established taxi or private-hire passenger transport operation, vehicles suitable for the required journey, appropriately qualified drivers and the operational capacity to deliver reliable scheduled services throughout the contract. Familiarity with council booking and contract-management processes would also help, as would the ability to respond efficiently to mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system. The recorded requirement was treated as unsuitable for SMEs, so the buyer’s expected scale and supplier capability may favour larger operators or businesses with substantial capacity. Firms already delivering school or assisted passenger transport in the East Midlands would have relevant experience for comparable requirements from this council.
