## Summary

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport services for the Oaklands journey, covering taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement is part of the council’s wider passenger transport purchasing arrangements and is intended for suppliers able to provide local or regional journeys using suitable vehicles and drivers. Leicester City Council is based at City Hall, 115 Charles Street, Leicester. The procurement is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000), with an additional classification for passenger transport vehicles with drivers (CPV 60170000). The opportunity is identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises, making it relevant to independent taxi operators and smaller passenger transport businesses as well as larger providers.

The procurement has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The award was made on 8 September 2026 to Hansom Taxis for £23,400. The awarded contract period runs from 9 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The wider tender record describes a contract period ending on 31 July 2028, but the award specifies the period for this contract. The tender deadline was 8 September 2026 at 9:00am. Leicester City Council’s procurement is complete and the award is active. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one awarded requirement; no separate lots or alternative award values are recorded. The procedure was run through the council’s passenger transport DPS.

This award shows established demand from Leicester City Council for dedicated taxi and passenger transport vehicle services for council journeys in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles, provide qualified and reliable drivers, and organise transport for the named journey requirement. The council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions means suppliers need to understand DPS participation, respond efficiently to individual transport requests, and maintain the operational capacity to deliver scheduled journeys consistently. The requirement is explicitly suitable for SMEs, so a smaller taxi firm with dependable local coverage may be well placed, provided it can meet the council’s service, vehicle, driver and administrative expectations.
