## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for the West Gate School journey, including taxi services and passenger vehicles with a driver. The service is for travel to or from the school; the journey title identifies the requirement, but does not set out its route or further operational scope. Delivery is in the East Midlands. This is a local authority transport service rather than a vehicle purchase, and its focus is a defined school journey. Suppliers whose business includes carrying passengers by taxi or other driven passenger vehicle are closest to the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to skyline taxis following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 26 October 2026, for £17,784. The contract period runs from 27 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition deadline was 26 October 2026. The procurement data identifies the service and route title, but gives no separate account of evaluation criteria or how bids were scored; it therefore does not establish a basis on which to compare suppliers’ offers. The reported award value is for this contract only.

For suppliers who did not win, this award shows that Leicester City Council buys passenger transport for a named school journey through a mini-competition within its passenger transport DPS. Relevant capability is the provision of taxi or other passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with the capacity to serve a school journey in the East Midlands over a sustained contract period. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, so businesses in those categories were considered suitable to participate. The award identifies a transport supplier as the selected provider, but does not publish specific vehicle, staffing, safeguarding, accessibility or service-level requirements; competitors should not assume those were evaluation conditions.
