## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for a specific home-to-school and contact journey. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with a driver, under CPV codes 60120000 and 60170000 respectively. Delivery is in the East Midlands. The council is the buying organisation, based in Leicester. This is a service requirement for transporting passengers rather than a vehicle supply, fleet purchase or general transport consultancy. The journey forms part of the council’s education and contact-related transport arrangements, so relevant suppliers are operators able to provide reliable, driver-led passenger journeys for the authority’s specified route and service users.

The procurement has been completed and awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure. The contract was awarded to SKYLINE TAXIS on 12 August 2026 for £11,946 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 24 August 2026 to 23 October 2026. The procurement was evaluated as a passenger transport services requirement, with the tender classified primarily as taxi services and additionally as passenger vehicle hire with a driver. This was a single stated requirement rather than a procurement divided into separately described lots. The award is active and the tender is complete.

For a supplier that did not win, this award is evidence that Leicester City Council buys short, defined passenger transport journeys through its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and mini-competitions. A credible competitor would need to operate taxi or other passenger vehicles with drivers, organise dependable journeys for home-to-school and contact-related travel, and meet the council’s requirements for service users and route delivery in the East Midlands. The winning supplier was recorded as a large organisation, while the opportunity was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises. Businesses seeking comparable council work should therefore be structured to handle public-sector procurement through the DPS and demonstrate reliable operational delivery for individual transport requirements.
