## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport for Keyham Lodge School: a taxi service for the journey identified by the school requirement. The work is passenger transport by taxi and hired vehicles with drivers, delivered in England. The council is the buyer. This is a specific school transport route rather than a general transport service, so its relevance is strongest for operators able to provide reliable journeys for the school’s requirement.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The award was made on 23 September 2026 to Hansom Airport Taxis. The awarded value is £32,643. The contract period runs from 28 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement was for a single stated journey; no separate lots are identified. The response deadline was 23 September 2026. The published information does not set out the evaluation criteria, so the basis on which competing offers were assessed cannot be described here.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for school-specific taxi transport procured through a mini-competition within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for this requirement would need to operate passenger vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver the identified school journey reliably throughout the contract period. The council identifies small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises as suitable to participate, so the opportunity is not presented as restricted to large operators. Relevant suppliers are taxi firms with the capacity to meet a defined school transport need and to compete through the council’s DPS route. The awarded supplier provides a benchmark of the type of operator selected, but the procurement gives no further detail on required accreditations, vehicle specifications or service standards.
