## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Gateway College. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, placing it in the passenger transport services category. Delivery is in England. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to transport passengers rather than supply vehicles without drivers. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. It formed part of the council’s wider passenger transport requirement, so businesses operating taxi or chauffeur-driven passenger transport services are the most relevant comparators. The procurement concerned a specific journey rather than a broad fleet, network or general transport management service.

This procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 4 September 2026 to Skyline Taxis for £28,197, inclusive of the stated contract value, with a contract period from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement used a dynamic purchasing system route rather than a standalone open tender. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement. The award is active and the tender is complete. The stated evaluation basis is the mini-competition process within the council’s passenger transport system; detailed scoring criteria are not set out in the available procurement information.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys discrete, journey-specific passenger transport through its established dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable council work would need to provide taxi services or passenger vehicles with drivers, organise reliable journeys in England and operate at the scale required for a single education-related transport requirement. The requirement was expressly suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so a smaller local operator could be relevant if it can meet the council’s operational and compliance requirements. Businesses would also need to understand and use the council’s dynamic purchasing system and take part in its mini-competitions. The selected supplier’s profile indicates that established taxi operators are active competitors for this type of work.
