## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as “White Stacks OLC”. The requirement is for taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, covering transport delivered in the East Midlands. The procurement sits within the council’s passenger transport arrangements and concerns the practical provision of a specified passenger journey rather than vehicle supply alone. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester, England. The opportunity is categorised as a services contract and is suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. Businesses operating taxi services, private hire vehicles or other driver-provided passenger transport would find the scope most relevant, particularly those able to organise reliable journeys for a public-sector client.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini competition under the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, using an open procedure. The tender deadline was 13 August 2026 at 9:00am, and the award was made on 13 August 2026. Hansom Taxis Leicester Ltd was awarded the contract for £39,780 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The published procurement describes one transport requirement, with no separate lots identified. The award is active. The process was for a defined passenger journey titled “White Stacks OLC”, rather than a general taxi services framework award. At award, Leicester City Council confirmed that it was no longer seeking tenders.

For a supplier that did not win this procurement, the award demonstrates established council demand for contracted taxi and passenger transport journeys in the East Midlands. A credible future competitor would need to provide dependable vehicles with drivers, organise scheduled passenger journeys and operate consistently against a public-sector service requirement. Taxi firms and passenger transport operators with sufficient vehicles, driver availability and dispatch or journey-management capability are the closest fit. The council’s use of a Dynamic Purchasing System and mini competitions shows that suppliers need to understand that route and be ready to respond to individual transport requirements through it. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations are expressly considered suitable, so local operating capacity and reliable delivery may be more relevant than large corporate scale.
