## Summary

Leicester City Council commissioned passenger transport for Millgate School: a taxi service for the journey identified by the school and notice title. The work falls within taxi and chauffeured passenger transport services and is intended to transport passengers to or from the school. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the council based in Leicester. The requirement is a specific school journey rather than a general transport service. The council procured it through its passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, using a mini-competition among participating suppliers.

The procurement is complete and the contract was awarded to Elite Taxis on 8 October 2026. The awarded value is £18,486. The award states a contract period from 12 October 2026 to 31 July 2028; the tender information gives a start date of 14 October 2026 and the same end date. The procurement used an open procedure and mini-competition under the council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System. The submission deadline was 8 October 2026 at 9am. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized businesses and voluntary, community and social enterprises. No evaluation criteria are reported.

This award demonstrates a recurring requirement from Leicester City Council for taxi transport on a defined Millgate School journey. A credible competitor for the same requirement would need to provide reliable, appropriately sized passenger transport and demonstrate that it can deliver the specified school route consistently throughout the contract period. The route and passenger requirements will determine the vehicles, driver cover and operational arrangements needed; the current procurement does not describe those specifications in detail. The council uses a passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions to procure this type of service, so suppliers would need to be positioned to participate through that route. The procurement was marked as suitable for SMEs and voluntary, community and social enterprises.
