## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “WHM WORK CONNECTIONS”, under the broader category of taxi services (CPV 60120000), with vehicle hire and a driver also included (CPV 60170000). The requirement is for transport delivered in the East Midlands and is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity. The council is the buying organisation. The procurement formed part of the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, under which transport operators can provide taxi and related passenger transport services for council requirements. The selected supplier is a taxi business, indicating that the requirement centres on arranged passenger journeys rather than vehicle supply alone.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The estimated and awarded value was £45,443 including the stated currency of GBP. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to SKYLINE Taxis (Mids) Ltd on 14 August 2026. The contract period runs from 26 August 2026 to 31 August 2028. The tender was classified as a services procurement and was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The available record describes the route through the DPS and the open procedure, but does not set out separate scoring criteria.

This award is relevant to established taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to deliver council-arranged journeys in the East Midlands. A credible competitor would need access to suitable passenger vehicles, appropriately licensed drivers and the operational capacity to provide reliable scheduled transport for the full contract requirement. Dispatch, driver coordination, journey monitoring and contingency arrangements would be important capabilities for meeting public-sector service expectations. The successful supplier’s profile shows that a larger taxi business can satisfy this type of requirement, while the procurement was also marked as suitable for smaller enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. Businesses with experience of council transport work, dependable local coverage and robust safeguarding and service-management processes would be well placed when comparable demand returns.
