The service is taxi and other passenger transport with a driver, rather than the purchase of vehicles. Delivery is in England. This is a single, journey-specific requirement within the Council’s wider passenger transport activity, intended to carry passengers to or from Homefield College. The recorded scope does not describe the route, passenger numbers, vehicle specification or operating arrangements, so the clearest fit is a taxi or passenger transport operator able to provide the stated college journey. Leicester City Council is the buyer and the requirement falls within its passenger transport services work. The procurement is complete and was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis following an open mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 23 September 2026. The awarded value is £46,683. The contract period runs from 25 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender deadline was 23 September 2026. The procurement covers one journey-specific requirement, with no separate lots recorded. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate. The available evaluation information does not set out award criteria or weightings, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described further. This award confirms demand from Leicester City Council for a contracted taxi journey serving Homefield College, procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. For suppliers considering comparable future work for this buyer, the relevant capability is operating reliable, driver-provided passenger transport for a defined college journey. Taxi firms and other passenger transport operators are the direct fit; the procurement also treated small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable participants. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, demonstrating that an established operator could meet this requirement, while the stated SME suitability indicates that smaller operators were also within scope. No specific fleet, staffing, accreditation or experience threshold is established in the published procurement information, so competitors should focus on credible delivery of this journey-specific transport service. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
