The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, supporting travel associated with Woodfield School. The work is to be delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation. This is a passenger transport services requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract: relevant businesses are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for the specified school journey. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services requirement and concerns a defined school transport route or journey. The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The Council used an open procedure, with award based on the procurement process for the requirement. The award was made on 16 September 2026 to Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd for £38,493 (GBP). The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £38,493 (GBP). The contract is recorded as active. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. This award is for one school transport requirement rather than multiple lots or separately reported awards. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related taxi and passenger transport services from Leicester City Council, delivered through its Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition route. Suppliers well placed for a future requirement of this type would be established taxi firms or passenger transport operators with access to suitable vehicles and qualified drivers, and with the operational capacity to provide a regular journey for a school. The Council’s stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that smaller specialist operators and mission-led providers can be relevant competitors. Businesses should be able to meet the Council’s DPS participation requirements and compete for a specific passenger transport journey rather than relying on a broad fleet-supply or general logistics capability. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice. It has been awarded following a Mini Competition under Council's Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) PAN3059 - Passenger Transport Services.
