## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey identified as “37145 – SENSE COLLEGE”. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The service is intended to transport passengers connected with Sense College, with delivery in the East Midlands. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The requirement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire vehicle businesses and passenger transport providers able to deliver planned journeys with suitable vehicles and drivers in the East Midlands.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 14 August 2026 to Azoom taxis. It followed a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The awarded contract value is £43,758 excluding any applicable tax, and the contract runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 14 August 2026 at 9:00am. One supplier was awarded the requirement. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The available information records the procurement route and service categories but does not set out detailed quality, price or other evaluation weightings.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for contracted taxi or passenger transport services supporting Sense College journeys in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to operate reliable passenger transport services, provide drivers and vehicles suitable for the required journeys, and manage delivery consistently throughout a service period. Taxi firms and private-hire operators already experienced in council or education-related transport would be well placed to compete, particularly those able to respond efficiently to mini-competitions under a dynamic purchasing system. Smaller firms may also be relevant, since the requirement was marked as suitable for SMEs. Experience of scheduled journey management, driver availability and dependable day-to-day operations would strengthen a supplier’s position.
