## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a specified journey under its taxi services requirement. The work covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, with delivery in the East Midlands. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. This is a transport services opportunity rather than a vehicle supply, construction or general consultancy requirement. The scope is relevant to taxi operators and passenger transport businesses able to provide journeys using driver-operated vehicles in the East Midlands. The procurement is classified under CPV 60120000 for taxi services, with CPV 60170000 covering the hire of passenger transport vehicles with driver. The requirement was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and was not reserved for voluntary, community or social enterprises.

The procurement is complete and was awarded to Skyline taxis following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System PAN3059 for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 7 September 2026, and the contract was awarded for £12,379 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 8 September 2026 to 30 October 2026. The tender submission deadline was 7 September 2026 at 09:00. The process used a mini-competition within the Council’s dynamic purchasing system rather than a standalone open tender. Skyline taxis is the selected supplier. The published outcome identifies taxi services and driver-operated passenger transport vehicles as the requirement, with the award covering the same East Midlands delivery area. No separate lots or multiple awarded suppliers are identified.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award provides a clear indication of Leicester City Council’s demand for short-term, journey-specific taxi and passenger transport services in the East Midlands. A credible competitor for similar Council requirements would need to operate a taxi or passenger transport business, provide suitable vehicles with drivers, and organise reliable delivery for an individual stated journey. The buyer’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competition shows that suppliers need to be able to participate through that route and respond to individual transport requirements. The opportunity was suitable for SMEs, so smaller taxi firms with the required operational capacity can be credible competitors alongside larger operators. Skyline taxis’ selection demonstrates that an established passenger transport operator can satisfy this type of Council requirement.
