## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned a passenger transport service for the journey identified as “Ellesmere College (Aylestone Meadows)”. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation. This is a transport services requirement rather than a vehicle-only hire, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to supply driver-led journeys for the named route. The procurement sits within the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which covers taxi services and related passenger transport provision. The title indicates a connection between Ellesmere College and Aylestone Meadows, making local route knowledge and dependable journey operations relevant to businesses assessing the requirement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded through an open mini-competition under the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. AZOOM TAXIS was awarded the contract on 17 September 2026 for £16,848 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 21 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender submission deadline was 17 September 2026 at 9:00am. The published outcome confirms that tenders were no longer being sought at award stage. The procurement was evaluated through the open procedure, and the award is recorded as active. There is one recorded requirement and one supplier award. The contract value and period relate to this individual passenger transport service and should not be treated as a wider framework or system value.

This award shows that Leicester City Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System to buy specific taxi and driver-led passenger transport journeys through mini-competitions. A business seeking to compete for comparable requirements would need to be an established taxi or passenger transport operator with suitable vehicles, drivers and the operational capacity to provide a dependable service for a defined route. The requirement is particularly relevant to providers able to cover journeys in and around Leicester and the wider East Midlands, including transport connected with Ellesmere College and Aylestone Meadows. The recorded supplier is classified as a large organisation, while the procurement is marked as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Credibility would therefore depend on reliable day-to-day transport delivery, route coverage and the ability to operate through the council’s DPS process.
