## Summary

Leicester City Council bought passenger transport for a journey associated with Netherhall Mead Academy. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger vehicles with drivers, rather than a general transport service; the data identifies no route beyond the academy reference in the title. The listed delivery locations include the United Kingdom and several wider locations, but these do not clarify where this specific journey operates. The council is the buyer, and the work concerns carrying passengers for an education-related journey. The procurement was made through a mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system, which covers taxi services. This contract is a specific journey requirement within that wider transport arrangement.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to City Rides Leicester Ltd following a mini-competition under the council’s dynamic purchasing system. The award date was 19 October 2026. The awarded contract value is £46,660, and the contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 19 October 2026. The procedure is recorded as “Other”, with no further method detail, and no evaluation criteria are stated. The requirement is a single journey-specific contract; no separate lots are identified. The award is active. The procurement was marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys journey-specific passenger transport for an academy through mini-competitions within its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for a comparable requirement would need to provide taxi or passenger vehicle services with drivers and demonstrate the practical capacity to deliver a defined school-related journey reliably over a sustained contract period. The winning supplier was a large company, but the procurement was also marked as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises, suggesting that smaller providers may be relevant to this type of requirement. The award provides evidence of demand for passenger transport in the council’s taxi services arrangement; it does not establish any particular vehicle specification, route, service frequency or accreditation requirement.
