## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, covering transport activity in the East Midlands. This is a service contract supporting travel to or from the school rather than the supply of vehicles alone. The council is the buying organisation, with the service managed through its Passenger and Transport Services function in Leicester. Businesses operating school transport, taxi services or chauffeured passenger vehicles are the relevant market, particularly those able to provide reliable, planned journeys for a school-related requirement. The procurement is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000), with passenger transport vehicles and drivers as an additional category.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded to Elite Taxis on 4 September 2026 for £21,002. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender had a submission deadline of 4 September 2026 at 9:00am. The published procurement value was also £21,002. The award covers the Keyham Lodge School transport requirement and is recorded as an active award. The procurement was presented as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No separate lots or additional award criteria are identified in the contracting information.

This award shows Leicester City Council’s demand for school-related passenger transport delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or private passenger transport services, provide suitably driven vehicles and organise dependable journeys for the Keyham Lodge School requirement. Relevant capability includes safe and consistent school transport operations, access to appropriate vehicles and drivers, and the administrative capacity to respond to mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system. The opportunity is suitable in principle for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so smaller local operators may be well placed where they can demonstrate reliable delivery and meet the council’s operating requirements. Firms should understand the council’s DPS route rather than relying only on general transport tendering experience.
