## Summary

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with WHM Education. The requirement is for taxi transport, with vehicles and drivers, delivered in the East Midlands. The contract relates to a specific journey rather than a broader transport service, but the journey route and passenger numbers are not described. The Council buys these services through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, which is also used for taxi services. This requirement is relevant to taxi and private-hire operators able to provide passenger journeys for the Council in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS on 6 October 2026. The awarded value is £34,854. The contract period runs from 7 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The Council used an open mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The stated tender deadline was 6 October 2026. The procurement is not divided into lots, and the recorded suitability assessment did not identify it as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award data identifies one supplier and one award. No evaluation criteria are recorded in the procurement details.

For taxi and private-hire operators, this award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for a defined passenger journey procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. Suppliers seeking to compete for a similar Council requirement would need to be able to deliver passenger transport using vehicles with drivers and participate in the relevant DPS competition. The awarded supplier is identified as a large business, and the recorded suitability assessment did not mark the procurement as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. The published scope is narrow: transport for a journey associated with WHM Education, rather than a general taxi service or wider education transport provision. Operators whose service and capacity match that specific journey requirement are the closest fit for comparable work.
