The requirement is for a specified journey associated with the school, rather than general passenger transport. The delivery location is described only as England, so the precise route or collection and drop-off points cannot be identified from the procurement details. The council is the buyer, and the service falls within transport services. The requirement was run as a mini-competition within the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The work is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to deliver school-related journeys for the council. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 12 October 2026 to City Rides Leicester Ltd. The awarded contract value is £26,325. The contract period runs from 14 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. Leicester City Council used a mini-competition under its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The tender deadline was 12 October 2026. The published information identifies the service as a single school transport journey requirement; no separate lots are described. The procurement details do not set out an evaluation formula or specific eligibility conditions. Small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises were identified as suitable to participate. The successful supplier is named, but the award information does not describe the basis on which its offer was selected. This award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for taxi transport on a school-specific journey, procured through a mini-competition in its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. Taxi and passenger transport firms are the directly relevant competitors, particularly operators able to provide a dependable vehicle-with-driver service for a defined school route. The requirement is described as one journey, so firms whose operating model can accommodate a focused transport service may be relevant as well as larger operators. The council marked the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, showing that participation was not limited to large businesses. To compete credibly when this same requirement returns to market, providers would need to demonstrate that they can deliver the specified journey reliably and meet the council’s requirements for the passenger transport service. ## 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.
