## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for the journey identified as Inglehurst Junior School. 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, United Kingdom. The council is the buyer and the service is categorised as passenger transport. The procurement relates to a specific school journey under the council’s wider Passenger Transport Services arrangements. It therefore suits taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to deliver a reliable, driver-operated school transport service in the East Midlands and to work with Leicester City Council’s operational requirements.

The procurement is complete and has been awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The tender deadline was 27 August 2026 at 09:00. The contract was awarded on 27 August 2026 to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS LTD for £29,227. The contract period runs from 1 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The stated procurement value and awarded value are both £29,227. The award is active. The published information identifies one awarded supplier and does not divide the requirement into separate lots. The opportunity was assessed as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises.

This award shows that Leicester City Council buys dedicated, driver-operated transport for individual school journeys through mini-competitions under its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System. Businesses seeking comparable work would need to be established passenger transport providers with the operational capacity to serve a defined school route in the East Midlands and the ability to provide taxi or passenger vehicles with drivers. The selected supplier was a large taxi business, indicating that the buyer accepted a provider with substantial organisational scale for this requirement. The relevant commercial route is the council’s passenger transport DPS, so firms aiming to compete for similar requirements should be prepared to participate in that system and respond to mini-competitions for specific journeys.
