## Summary

Leicester City Council procured transport services for the journey associated with King Richards Nursery and School. The requirement is for taxi services, including the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, to support passenger travel connected with the school. The work is delivered in England, with the buying organisation based in Leicester. This is a passenger transport service rather than a vehicle-only supply contract, so relevant businesses are taxi operators and other providers able to supply vehicles with drivers for a defined school journey. The procurement falls within the services category and relates specifically to the Council’s passenger transport needs for King Richards Nursery and School.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded through a mini competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. The stated method was an open procedure. The tender submission deadline was 10 September 2026 at 09:00, and the contract was awarded on 10 September 2026 to CITY RIDES. The awarded value is £33,907 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 14 September 2026 to 31 July 2028. The opportunity was identified as suitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and voluntary, community and social enterprises. The award is active and applies to the single stated school transport requirement.

For a supplier that did not win this contract, the award demonstrates a defined requirement for school-related taxi and passenger transport services from Leicester City Council. It shows that the Council uses its Passenger Transport Services Dynamic Purchasing System and mini competitions to source individual journeys, rather than relying only on one broad contract. A credible future competitor would need to operate taxi or passenger transport vehicles with drivers and be able to deliver a reliable service for a nursery and school journey. Smaller businesses and voluntary, community or social enterprises were considered suitable for this type of requirement, so an organisation does not need to be a large transport group to be relevant. Experience delivering comparable passenger journeys and the operational capacity to fulfil a dedicated school requirement would support a future response.
