## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for a journey identified as “Oaklands School”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, making it relevant to taxi operators, school transport providers and other firms able to provide driver-led passenger journeys. The service is classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with an additional classification for passenger transport vehicle hire with driver. Delivery is in England, while the buying organisation is Leicester City Council. The requirement is a service rather than the supply of vehicles alone, so businesses would need to provide the transport operation and associated drivers for the specified school journey.

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 award was made to Hansom Airport Taxis on 21 August 2026 for £19,656 GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 21 August 2026 at 09:00. The procurement used the Council’s DPS route, with the underlying procurement method recorded as “Other”. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. There was one completed award, covering the Oaklands School transport requirement.

This award shows established demand from Leicester City Council for driver-led taxi and passenger transport services supporting a school journey. A credible competitor for a future requirement would need reliable passenger vehicles, appropriately capable drivers and the operational capacity to deliver a recurring school transport service in England. The Council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition indicates that suppliers need to understand and operate through that purchasing route, responding to individual transport requirements when invited. The stated suitability for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises indicates that the work is not limited to large national operators. Firms with dependable local coverage, transport scheduling capability and experience of school or passenger journeys would be well placed when this requirement returns.
