The requirement is a taxi service, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, for education-related travel. Delivery is in the East Midlands, United Kingdom. The council is the buying organisation and the service is intended for a specific school transport journey rather than a broad transport network. This type of work would suit operators providing reliable taxi or private-hire passenger transport, with vehicles and drivers able to support scheduled education journeys. The procurement formed part of the council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services, providing the route through which transport operators compete for individual council 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. The contract was awarded to Adam’s transport on 4 September 2026 for £32,643. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The tender submission deadline was 4 September 2026 at 9:00am. The procurement was for services, using the council’s DPS route rather than a standalone open tender. The award is active and covers one education transport requirement. Leicester City Council identified the opportunity as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises. The award value and contract period relate to this specific requirement and should not be treated as the value or duration of the wider DPS. This award shows that Leicester City Council buys defined school transport journeys from specialist passenger transport operators through mini-competitions within its passenger transport DPS. A credible future supplier would need to provide taxi or private-hire vehicles with drivers, organise dependable scheduled journeys, and maintain the operational capacity required for education transport over an extended school-term service period. The requirement is suitable for SMEs, so smaller local or regional operators may be able to compete where they can demonstrate reliable vehicle availability, appropriately managed drivers and consistent day-to-day delivery. Businesses already providing school transport, taxi services or contracted passenger journeys in the East Midlands can use this award as evidence of the council’s purchasing route and the scale of an individual education transport requirement. ## Notice This contract is for the provision of transport services - journey stated in the title of this notice.
