## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a journey serving Woodfield School, under the requirement titled “37132 - WOODFIELD SCHOOL”. The work is classified primarily as taxi services, with the related provision of passenger transport vehicles with drivers. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with Leicester City Council as the buying organisation. The requirement is therefore relevant to taxi operators, private hire businesses and passenger transport providers able to provide journeys for a school service. It concerns transport provision rather than vehicle supply, infrastructure or general education services, and is focused on carrying passengers with an appropriate driver and vehicle for the specified school journey.

This procurement has been awarded and the tender is complete. It was run as an open procedure through a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The tender deadline was 12 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 13 August 2026 to CityRides Leicester Ltd for £28,057, with an active contract period from 28 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The award was based on the stated procurement procedure; the available record does not set out separate quality or price weightings. At award, the Council was no longer seeking tenders for this requirement. The procurement was categorised as a services contract and was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.

This award demonstrates recurring local-authority demand for dedicated school passenger journeys in the Leicester and wider East Midlands market. A credible competitor for a future requirement of this kind would need to operate taxi or private hire services, provide suitable passenger transport vehicles with drivers, and reliably deliver the specified school journey throughout the service period. The route used was a mini competition within the Council’s passenger transport Dynamic Purchasing System, so businesses seeking comparable work would benefit from understanding and meeting the DPS’s qualification and operational requirements before a journey-specific competition. The selected supplier was recorded as a large organisation, and the opportunity was not identified as suitable for SMEs, indicating that capacity, dependable availability and the ability to sustain scheduled school transport are commercially important.
