## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for Oakwood Community School. The requirement is described as transport for a journey identified in the procurement title, with taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers as the relevant work. Delivery is in England. The council used its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System to run a mini-competition for this school journey. This is a school-focused transport requirement rather than a general transport service: suppliers would need to provide suitable vehicles and drivers for the specified journey and operate within the council’s passenger transport arrangements.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Hansom Airport Taxis. The award date was 29 September 2026. The awarded contract value is £36,978. The contract period runs from 5 October 2026 to 31 July 2027. The council selected the supplier through a mini-competition under its Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The procurement records a single requirement and confirms that the contract was awarded; it does not describe the evaluation criteria or eligibility conditions applied in this competition. The requirement was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

For taxi and passenger transport operators, this award demonstrates Leicester City Council’s demand for school journey transport procured through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and a mini-competition. A credible competitor for a similar requirement would need to provide dependable taxi or passenger vehicle services with drivers for a school journey, and be able to operate within the council’s DPS route. The requirement was considered suitable for smaller businesses as well as voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that this type of school transport work is not inherently limited to large operators. The selected supplier shows that a taxi business can deliver this category of council transport contract; operators should be positioned to meet the journey-specific service requirements when participating in a comparable competition. Consulte the council’s taxi tendering guidance for information on joining the DPS.
