## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Willow Bank School, under contract reference 37122. The requirement is principally taxi services, with additional provision for hiring passenger transport vehicles with drivers. The work is delivered in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. It is a school transport service intended to provide passenger journeys associated with Willow Bank School. The council is the buying organisation and the requirement sits within its wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. This is a service contract rather than a goods or construction opportunity, suited to operators providing reliable, driver-led transport for school passengers and able to work within the council’s operational arrangements for passenger transport journeys.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 10 August 2026. Skyline Taxis was awarded the contract for £25,974 including the stated currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 25 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The procurement used a tender process through the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System; the recorded procurement method detail is “Other”. The requirement was treated as a services procurement, with taxi services as the primary classification. The award is active and the tender status is complete. The published outcome identifies one supplier and one requirement for the Willow Bank School journey.

This award demonstrates established council demand for school-related taxi and passenger transport services delivered by drivers. A credible competitor for comparable work would need suitable passenger transport vehicles, appropriately qualified and dependable drivers, and the operational capacity to provide regular journeys connected with a school in the East Midlands. Firms would also need to understand the council’s Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and be able to respond to its mini-competitions, rather than relying only on informal or ad hoc bookings. The successful supplier is recorded as a large taxi business, indicating that the council has used a provider with the capacity to manage the requirement. Relevant experience in school transport, route reliability, passenger safety and day-to-day service coordination would strengthen a future response.
