## Summary

Leicester City Council procured transport services for a journey associated with Rushey Mead School. The requirement falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended to support passenger travel connected with the school. This is a school-specific transport requirement rather than a general vehicle supply contract, so relevant businesses are operators able to provide managed journeys using taxis or other passenger vehicles with drivers. The procurement sits within the council’s wider passenger transport services arrangements, covering transport provision for council requirements.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 3 September 2026 following a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated procurement method is an open procedure. The tender deadline was 3 September 2026 at 9:00am. The award went to SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd for £14,157, including the published currency of GBP. The awarded contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender’s estimated value was also £14,157. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The process concerned one school transport requirement.

This award is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses that can provide reliable, driver-led school journeys for Leicester City Council. The successful supplier profile indicates that the requirement can be fulfilled by an established commercial transport operator, while the procurement was also marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses seeking similar work would need practical capability in taxi or passenger vehicle operations, dependable vehicle and driver capacity, and the ability to deliver scheduled school-related journeys consistently. The route to market is important: credible competitors would need to understand and participate in the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services, then respond to mini competitions for comparable requirements.
