The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, rather than the supply of vehicles without drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The work is a service requirement intended to provide transport for the specified journey. It sits within the Council’s wider Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System, which is used for taxi and other passenger transport requirements. Businesses relevant to this opportunity are taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to undertake the stated journey for the Council. The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The contract was awarded to HANSOM TAXIS on 18 August 2026 for £43,278. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The procurement was evaluated through the Council’s DPS mini-competition route. The requirement was classified as taxi services, with passenger transport vehicles with driver as an additional classification. The opportunity was suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active and relates to one specified transport journey. This award demonstrates a defined requirement from Leicester City Council for managed taxi or passenger transport provision in the East Midlands, delivered through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. It is commercially relevant to operators that can provide passenger journeys reliably, manage the practical requirements of Council transport work and participate in DPS mini-competitions. The suitability assessment indicates that smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises can be considered for this type of requirement, while the successful supplier was a large organisation. A credible future competitor would therefore need suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, operational capacity for the Council’s specified journeys and familiarity with the DPS route and its competition process. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
