## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey associated with Keyham Lodge School. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering transport delivered in the East Midlands. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The council is the buying organisation. The published scope identifies a specific school transport journey, so businesses specialising in arranged passenger transport, taxi operations or driver-provided vehicle hire would be the relevant market. The procurement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system, indicating a requirement managed through an established transport purchasing route.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Passenger Transport Services dynamic purchasing system. The contract was awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS on 4 September 2026 for £18,697. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 9:00am. The requirement was categorised as services, with taxi services as the main classification and passenger vehicle hire with driver as an additional classification. The award covers one specific requirement for the Keyham Lodge School journey. The procurement method is recorded as “Other” and the award outcome is active.

This award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related passenger transport delivered through Leicester City Council’s specialist transport purchasing system. A credible future competitor would need to provide reliable taxi or passenger vehicle services with suitably capable drivers, organise journeys consistently, and maintain the operational capacity needed for a school transport route. Familiarity with council transport requirements and the ability to respond through a dynamic purchasing system mini-competition would be commercially relevant. The awarded supplier is recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity’s suitability settings do not identify it as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses targeting similar council work should therefore assess their fleet, driver availability, safeguarding and service-management arrangements against this type of requirement.
