## Summary

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey described as “home to school and contact”. The requirement falls within taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver. Delivery is in the East Midlands, serving the Council’s transport needs in the area. This is a public-sector passenger transport requirement rather than a vehicle-only supply opportunity: the selected provider is expected to provide journeys using taxis or other passenger vehicles with drivers. The buyer is Leicester City Council, based at City Hall in Leicester. The procurement is relevant to taxi operators, private-hire firms and passenger transport providers able to deliver the specified journey reliably in the East Midlands. It may also interest larger operators familiar with Council-arranged school and contact transport services.

The procurement is complete and was awarded on 15 September 2026 following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for passenger transport services. The contract was awarded to HANSOM AIRPORT TAXIS for £10,101. The contract period runs from 19 October 2026 to 18 December 2026. The tender submission deadline was 15 September 2026 at 09:00, before the award was recorded. This was a services procurement using the Council’s DPS route, rather than a standalone open tender. The published requirement covers one journey and carries the stated taxi and passenger-vehicle-with-driver classifications. Leicester City Council recorded the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprise organisations. The award is active and no cancellation or termination is reported.

This award shows a defined, short-term demand from Leicester City Council for managed taxi or passenger transport services supporting home-to-school and contact travel. A credible future competitor would need to operate suitable passenger vehicles with drivers, cover the East Midlands delivery area and organise dependable journeys against Council requirements. The successful supplier profile indicates that the buyer is willing to use an established, larger transport provider for this type of work, while the procurement record marks the opportunity as unsuitable for SMEs. Relevant strengths would therefore include operational capacity, reliable driver and vehicle availability, experience delivering scheduled public-sector or education-related transport, and the ability to administer journeys consistently for a Council customer. Firms tracking the Council’s passenger transport DPS can use this award to understand the type of service and supplier profile involved.
