The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering service delivery in the East Midlands. It is a passenger transport service rather than a goods supply or construction project. The council is the buyer and public body responsible for the requirement. The service is intended to provide transport for the stated journey, using vehicles and drivers capable of carrying passengers. Businesses operating taxi services, chauffeur-driven passenger transport or similar contracted transport services are the relevant market, particularly those able to undertake journeys in the East Midlands for a public-sector customer. The procurement is complete and has been awarded. Leicester City Council ran a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The tender deadline was 21 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 21 August 2026. HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS was selected for £23,271. The awarded contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published procurement value is also £23,271. The process was for services and was recorded as complete at award. The requirement was assessed as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award concerns the complete Oaklands transport requirement rather than separately identified lots. This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to place specific taxi and driver-led passenger transport journeys. A credible future competitor would need an operational taxi or passenger transport service, suitable vehicles, appropriately qualified and reliable drivers, and the capacity to fulfil an identified journey consistently in the East Midlands. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, indicating that the requirement was delivered by a provider with established operational scale. Experience of public-sector passenger transport, dependable scheduling, passenger safety, vehicle availability and responsive journey management would help a supplier demonstrate that it can meet a comparable council requirement when this type of service is next considered. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
