## Summary

Leicester City Council procured taxi and passenger transport services, including vehicles supplied with a driver, for delivery in the East Midlands. The requirement is identified as “XX transport services”, so the specific journey, passenger group and service scope are not clear from the description. The council is the buyer, and the contract forms part of its wider passenger transport service purchasing. The recorded work is categorised as taxi services; suppliers operating taxis or other passenger vehicles with drivers are the relevant businesses. The procurement is marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The work relates to transport services rather than the supply of vehicles alone.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to hansom taxis on 28 September 2026. The award value is £66. The contract period runs from 14 to 15 October 2026. The contract was awarded through a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 28 September 2026. The available details do not set out the evaluation criteria or eligibility requirements for this individual competition. The award is recorded as active. This is a short, specific transport requirement within the council’s wider passenger transport purchasing, rather than a new open competition; the selected supplier and award value are reported here as the outcome.

For taxi operators and passenger transport firms, this award is evidence that Leicester City Council buys discrete, short-duration transport services through mini-competitions within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxis or other passenger vehicles with drivers and be capable of meeting a tightly scheduled service need in the East Midlands. The council marks the opportunity as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller providers may be relevant alongside larger operators. As the requirement description does not explain the journeys or passenger needs, firms should assess the detailed service specification for any future comparable competition before deciding whether their fleet, operating capacity and service offer fit.
