The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, rather than the supply of vehicles alone. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service concerns transport for passengers travelling on the route identified by the Homefield College requirement. This is a local passenger transport opportunity suited to taxi operators, private-hire firms and other providers able to deliver reliable, driver-operated journeys in and around Leicester and Mountsorrel. The procurement is categorised as a service and was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 26 August 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services.
