The work is delivered in the East Midlands. The requirement sits within the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangements and is intended to provide transport for the journey identified in the procurement title. This is a service contract rather than a supply of vehicles: the relevant operator would provide suitably driven passenger transport for the required route and passengers. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations, making it relevant to local taxi firms, private hire operators and other passenger transport providers. The procurement is complete and was awarded on 18 August 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The submission deadline was 9:00am on 18 August 2026. Skyline Taxis was awarded the contract for £14,606. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 26 February 2027. The procurement used a competitive route within the council’s DPS, covering taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The award is active and relates to a single passenger transport requirement. Leicester City Council is the buying organisation and Skyline Taxis is the selected supplier. This award demonstrates a defined requirement for a taxi or private hire operator able to deliver school-related passenger transport in the East Midlands for Leicester City Council. A credible competitor for similar council work would need appropriately licensed vehicles, suitably qualified and vetted drivers, reliable route and passenger management, and the capacity to provide consistent service throughout the agreed operating period. Local firms may be well placed where they can demonstrate dependable coverage, safeguarding awareness, punctuality and contingency arrangements for vehicle or driver absence. The requirement was advertised as suitable for SMEs and VCSEs, and participation through the council’s passenger transport DPS is the relevant route for businesses seeking comparable work from this buyer. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
