## Summary

Leicester City Council procured passenger transport services for journeys associated with Leicester College across various campuses. The requirement covers taxi services and the hire of passenger transport vehicles with drivers, classified under CPV 60120000 and 60170000. Delivery is in the East Midlands, with the Council as the buying organisation. The procurement concerns planned transport for college-related journeys rather than vehicle supply alone, so relevant businesses include taxi operators and passenger transport providers able to provide vehicles with drivers for scheduled journeys connected with multiple campus locations. The named requirement is specific to Leicester College and its various campuses, making local or regional knowledge of passenger transport provision in and around Leicester commercially relevant to similar future requirements from this buyer.

The procurement is complete and was awarded following a mini-competition under Leicester City Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services. It used an open procedure, with the tender submission deadline recorded as 4 September 2026 at 09:00. Leicester City Council awarded the contract to AZOOM TAXIS on 4 September 2026 for £36,621 including the stated GBP currency. The contract period runs from 7 September 2026 to 31 July 2027. The tender was for services and was recorded as unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award is active, and the published outcome identifies AZOOM TAXIS as the selected supplier. The available procurement data does not set out separate lots or award-weighting details.

This award demonstrates demand from Leicester City Council for contracted taxi and passenger transport provision serving college journeys across various campuses. It is commercially relevant to established operators that can organise vehicles with drivers for scheduled passenger movements in the East Midlands and manage a requirement linked to more than one campus location. The procurement route is also clear: comparable suppliers would need to understand the Council’s Dynamic Purchasing System for Passenger Transport Services and its mini-competition approach. The requirement was marked unsuitable for SMEs and voluntary, community or social enterprises, while the selected supplier is recorded as a large organisation. Credible competitors for a future requirement of this type would therefore need sufficient operational scale, dependable driver-and-vehicle availability, and the administrative capacity to respond through the Council’s purchasing route.
