The requirement is for taxi services and passenger vehicles with drivers, rather than the purchase of vehicles. The recorded delivery location is in England; the school journey is identified by the school name. This is a school transport requirement, so relevant suppliers are operators able to provide passenger journeys to and from the school in line with the Council’s requirements. The procurement sits within the Council’s wider passenger transport services purchasing arrangement. The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to City Rides Leicester Ltd following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The award was made on 22 October 2026. The awarded value is £28,080. The contract period runs from 26 October 2026 to 31 July 2028. The competition deadline was 22 October 2026. The published information does not describe the evaluation criteria or specific eligibility requirements for this individual competition. The Council’s DPS is the route used for the competition; this award relates to one school journey and the value and period stated are for this contract. This award shows Leicester City Council buys dedicated passenger transport for an individual school journey through mini-competitions under its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to operate taxi or other suitable passenger vehicles with drivers and have the capacity to deliver reliable school transport for the required journey. The award went to City Rides Leicester Ltd, demonstrating that a transport operator can compete successfully for this type of Council work. The underlying DPS covers passenger transport services, and the Council identifies taxi firms as potential providers. The opportunity is relevant to transport businesses serving Leicester that can meet the Council’s operational requirements for school journeys and participate in competitions through this purchasing route. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
