The service is principally taxi provision, with associated hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers (CPV 60120000 and 60170000). Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The requirement is for a transport operator able to provide the vehicles, licensed drivers and operational coordination needed to complete the specified journey reliably. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. The procurement is a service contract rather than a goods supply or construction project, and is focused on direct passenger travel provision for the Council. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 4 September 2026 to Aizel Cabs. The awarded contract value is £72,657, with a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award followed a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, using an open procedure. The published outcome identifies one active award and one supplier. The tender record also gives an estimated value of £72,657. The requirement was evaluated through the Council’s procurement process for this passenger transport service, with the award made to Aizel Cabs for the specified journey. At award, the Council stated that it was no longer seeking tenders. This procurement shows Leicester City Council’s demand for dedicated taxi and chauffeured passenger transport services for a defined journey in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need dependable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed and experienced drivers, and the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently throughout the contract. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity is marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses competing for similar Council requirements would therefore need sufficient fleet access, driver availability, dispatch and coordination processes, and evidence of reliable service delivery at public-sector scale. Familiarity with the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and its mini-competition route would also be commercially relevant. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
