## Summary

Leicester City Council has procured passenger transport for a journey identified as “The Children’s Hospital School”. The requirement is for taxi services, including passenger transport vehicles supplied with a driver, rather than a general school transport service. The work is associated with the East Midlands and is intended to serve the named hospital school journey. The Council is the buyer, and the service is a transport contract. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services dynamic purchasing system, through which it conducts competitions for individual transport requirements. This award therefore provides a specific example of the Council buying a taxi journey for a school-related destination, rather than a broad fleet or network operation.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded to SKYLINE TAXI following a mini-competition under the Council’s passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. The process used an open procedure. The award date was 15 October 2026, and the contract runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The awarded contract value is £25,857. The tender deadline was 15 October 2026. The data identifies one journey requirement and gives no separate lot structure. It records suitability for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are stated in the procurement details, so the basis on which bids were compared cannot be described beyond the mini-competition route and open procedure.

For taxi operators, this award demonstrates a Council requirement for a defined passenger journey linked to The Children’s Hospital School, rather than a large general transport contract. A credible competitor would need to provide dependable, driver-led passenger transport suitable for the specified journey and to operate within Leicester City Council’s passenger transport purchasing arrangements. The Council ran this requirement as a mini-competition within its dynamic purchasing system, so familiarity with that route and the ability to respond to individual journey competitions are commercially relevant. The procurement was marked suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises, indicating that smaller specialist operators could be relevant competitors. The selected supplier was SKYLINE TAXI; the award does not identify particular vehicle specifications, passenger needs or service standards, so those should not be assumed.
