## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey associated with Wolfdale School. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, intended to transport passengers for the school-related journey. The work is classified as taxi services (CPV 60120000), with vehicle hire and drivers as an additional category (CPV 60170000). Delivery is in England, and the buying organisation is Leicester City Council. This is a service opportunity for taxi operators, private-hire firms and other passenger transport providers with suitable vehicles and drivers. The requirement is also identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, indicating that businesses of different organisational sizes can be relevant to this type of service.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. One Express was selected as supplier on 4 September 2026. The awarded value is £39,780. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The stated procurement method is ‘Other’, with the mini-competition conducted through the Council’s passenger transport DPS. The award covers the Wolfdale School transport requirement and is recorded as an active award. The process therefore provides evidence of the Council’s route for appointing suppliers: participation in the relevant DPS followed by competition for individual passenger transport requirements. The published award records one supplier and one contract period.

This award indicates demand from Leicester City Council for organised, driver-provided passenger transport serving a named school journey. A credible competitor for similar requirements would need to operate taxi or private-hire passenger transport services, provide suitable vehicles with drivers, and manage reliable delivery for education-related journeys. The opportunity is relevant to established operators as well as smaller firms and voluntary, community or social enterprises, since the requirement was identified as suitable for all three groups. The procurement route is particularly important commercially: suppliers need to understand the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and be able to respond to mini-competitions issued through it. Firms with the operational capacity to deliver scheduled passenger journeys and the administrative capability to compete through the DPS would be best placed when comparable requirements return.
