The requirement falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the Council’s Passenger and Transport Services based in Leicester. The contract is a service opportunity suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It was commissioned by Leicester City Council for local passenger transport provision, rather than for vehicles or equipment supplied without drivers. The stated requirement is specific to a passenger journey, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and other providers able to deliver driver-led transport services in the East Midlands. The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The procurement method was an open procedure. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 21 August 2026. Everest Taxis was awarded the contract for £10,920. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 1 January 2027. The tender’s estimated value was also £10,920. The process concerned a single passenger transport requirement. The award record shows Everest Taxis as the active supplier. The opportunity was evaluated through the Council’s mini-competition process within its passenger transport purchasing system. For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for small, defined passenger transport journeys delivered by taxi or other vehicles with drivers. A credible competitor for a future requirement from this buyer would need to provide reliable driver-led passenger transport in the East Midlands and be able to respond through the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The requirement is suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, indicating that smaller local operators can be relevant when they have the operational capacity to cover the specified journey and meet the Council’s procurement requirements. Taxi firms with experience of public-sector passenger transport would be well placed to compete when comparable work returns. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
