## 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 activity in England. The contract is intended to provide a specific passenger journey rather than a general vehicle supply arrangement. The buying organisation is Leicester City Council, based in Leicester. This is a services procurement, suited to businesses that operate taxis, private hire vehicles or other passenger transport with drivers. The requirement may also be relevant to operators able to provide reliable journey delivery and manage the practical requirements of transporting passengers for a local authority.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The award date was 19 August 2026. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to Hansom Airport Taxis for £46,777 including the published currency of GBP. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 19 August 2026 at 09:00. The recorded procurement method is an other method under the Council’s dynamic purchasing system. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

For a supplier that did not win this award, this process shows that Leicester City Council buys defined passenger journeys through competitions under its passenger transport dynamic purchasing system. A credible competitor for comparable work would need to operate taxi or private hire vehicles with drivers and demonstrate dependable delivery of council-commissioned journeys. Relevant strengths would include sufficient vehicle and driver capacity, robust scheduling and dispatch arrangements, resilience for the required service, and the ability to meet local-authority operating standards. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for the requirement, so firms in those categories may be well placed where they can evidence reliable passenger transport capability and operational capacity.
